Fire and Ice

Recommended Posts

Hey guys- long time lurker, I enjoy looking at the designs and different style of baits. I also tye my own jigs. Now, I have a technical question,

Does any one pour the color Fire and Ice? I found a lake that this is the strong color. I really do not care what the style is.

Thanks.

My fire and ice is like the original which is a 2 color pour. Don't have it here with me at work but when I get to the shop I'll post it up.

One side has basically 2 drops of red with several dashes of small red flake. The other side is similar however uses small red and small blue flake in equal amounts.

The flake has to really be loaded in so be careful on the re-heat as you may smoke any flake that has settled out.

I matched mine to a worm a customer sent me so not sure who the manufacturer of the original bait was.

PS I like adding some small silver holo flake in the top color as well. Really gives the bait an extra kick!

An Okies version of Fire and Ice

4 oz of Plastisol

12 drops LC red

2 drops LC Purple (Not Plum Purple)

1/8 tsp medium red flake

1/8 tsp medium blue flake

Is this the greatest hobby or what. Get 10 minutes to yourself and you can be out in the garage mixing ideas. Here is the fire and ice receipe in the cookbook. I use MF colors so it could be different if you use LC colors.

Jim,

If you pour a two color sample, please post it. I would like to see it.

Will do. I have the original bait I am working off of also. I can tell you from the photos already that my bait has a lot more flake and barely has any red color to it. Almost as if when the bait was made, the red in the plastic was from the bleeding of the red flake.

Might be able to get some done tonight for pictures. Not sure though as I was gone fishing and have a FEW honey-do's on my plate now!!!:boo:

Jim

PS My original bait is a Culprit I think.

Ok.... got a chance to pour but my camera is at work. I do have the recipe I use though.

Bottom: 4oz 2 drops purple plum (LC), 3 dashes of small (0.15) red flake, 1 pinch of small blue flake.

Top: 4oz 2 drops purple plum (LC),1 drop of red (M-F), 3 dashes of small blue flake, 1 pinch of small red flake.

If you are pouring a worm, pour the "top" portion into the mold for the body of the worm only filling the cavity about 1/3 of the way only, then pour the "bottom" portion to fill the mold cavity and include the tail portion.

I will post pictures of the original bait and some AIR wacky baits I made as well. The only tough part about these is all the flake in the cup. Be careful on your re-heats as the flake will burn if it is settled in the cup. Truthfully, the top portion needs even more flake but I hesitate to get so much that the plastic will barely flow.

Here is a quick shot of the original fire and ice worm I had sent to me a long time ago along with some wacky baits I poured.

I am still not completely happy with the color as I did not add enough blue flake for the one side and really used a little to much of the red red side in the mold. Close enough for government work though as I will be throwing these myself!

There is a LOT of blue on that top portion. The first cup I tried to use so much flake in the plastic that I could not pour it well.

Not sure who the original manufacturer is on the worm. I did look at some Culprits yesterday in Wally World and noticed the baits have less blue that the worm pictured but there was more red flake in the top part of the bait also.

I am going to bet that they all will work about the same. Hope to prove that today!!!
