Smalljaw one thing I've noticed with the 1/4 oz is that even with a light hook that is straight there really isn't much room between that bottom lead part and the hook. One thing I've done is before painting I bend down the lead part that runs under the belly just a bit to give me more room for the plastic. Barlow thanks for the tip about the vmc those look great.

Ide be happy with that I hate oily baits lol. Honestly different brands of plastic absorb it differently. Some plastics get oily on there own even without putting any oil on them. Ide say you need to look to another brand of plastic if you want oily baits.

I have it and it pours great. The wire inserts are pretty heavy so ide think they'd work fine for most anything.

Pics would help if you can post what it looks like. Have you tried drop out. Some molds I have a hard time getting to pour complete I spray drop out in and it helps a lot.

I don't have the Arkansas flash but I would think it would work fine in the 1". I like do-its wax wiggler a lot and Jacobs ice stinger jr.

I'm pretty sure Do-it sells an emerald green

In the water you can't tell it's dull.

I find the best pictures are with a white background under fluorescent light. I just use my phone and you need to be close when taking the picture. Most of my pics are from about 6" away.

Not a great pic but its all I have right now. This bait was clear with a very small amount of pearl and sparkle violet and black glitter. One thing I don't like about it is you can see the kind of orange yellowish color in the glitter in clearer baits.

It does look different in a clear plastic and you do use more than you think to get the desired effect. As far as reheats it does ok you have to be a little careful. If you get it too hot the purple just kind of disappears. I might have a pic of clear with just a bit of pearl and sparkle violet. I'll see if I can find it.

Best I have in my phone it's in smoke here.

In the Midwest where I fish i think the question would be what soft plastics do pike not eat! I get bit off by pike all the time walleye fishing with jig and plastic.

conversion really made a difference - #1 being useless

Back before i made my own plastics i caught a ton of walleyes on the exact bait on the far left so I guess I wouldn't say it's useless. I do like a straight tail bait in some situations too though. Especially cold water. -
I've never had a prroblem with minnow silver or any glitter for that matter arcing in the microwave.

You need to buy the base paint wich is called vein or netcraft calls it hammered. The base you want is the silver with black blotches. You need to bake them in the oven to cure the base then go back and paint over it with a candy or other transparent color. Then bake to cure again.

Not at all. I'm glad to see the pic. And he would be cool with it too. By the way Do-it changed up the forum and posting pics us easy now.
-
Yes he is. He's a heck of a good guy!
-
Or he worked with Do-it on this bait and volunteered to help with the design.

Hi-lite powders.

It looks to me like June bug. I use spike its with .15 green flake and .40 or .35 silver flake. I don't have one just going off what the pic looks like online.
-
I think a floro orange and some gold hi-lite should be a good looking carp color.

That's an awesome idea Roger.
