Tube Swimmer

I know how it feels, you just cant sling that plastic off. the bait looks good. did you make the mold?

I've burnt myself more times than I care to remember in the last 17 years doing this.

Thanks; yes I did make the iron. I added a vertical tail to it as you can see but what you don't see is the indent on the back side of the paddle. I did both of these things to stiffen the tail up.

What are you using for the color?

The top is watermelon brown with a drop of black. The bottom is 3 drops white to 4 oz plastic. The rest of the coloring is highlite powder applied on different layers. I have another version of this bait posted that I made applicaters from .035 wire in the shape of a pec fin and that is put on with lumina black.

Are you just brushing the highlight powder on.

It's not really brushed on as much as it's dobbed on. Just make sure that you don't have too much on the brush or you will have a mess.

Good looking bait. I saw the Del-Mart mold for this bait the other day... the guy just got it. I am considering making my own mold after looking HIS over real well. Thoughts?

Thanks. This is one that I made from aluminum.
