ALC609 Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 how do you go about pouring a chartruece tail, on a worm or grub in a one piece p.o.p. mold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe S. Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 I like a slight angle, not much but just a tiny bit, keep the tail on the down hill side, pour your chartruese tail, then start pouring your other color from the edge of the tail then go forward to stop it from running, it's pretty simple. a few trys and you'll have it down.

HJS Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 I never make or fish soft plastics with chartreuse tails, but I know others swear by them. For light colored bodies, would a chartreuse plastic dye dip work?? I've seen it for sale in BPS catalogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For light colored bodies, would a chartreuse plastic dye dip work?? I've seen it for sale in BPS catalogs. I've used the Spike it dip & glo from BPS for a few years. It does a great job turning light colored soft plastics chartreuse. I don't even buy chartreuse grubs anymore. I buy clear/pepper and dip a few in Spike it when I want to fish a chartreuse grub.

JSC Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 You can also make a mixture of the regular palstic coloring and acetone ... this is mostly for large batches ... dip the tail and "screte it off" and let dry . JSC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnie3035 Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Spike-it will bleed on other baits, it will also slowly creep up the bait if too much is applied. Any brand of plastic chartreuse coloring will bleed, degrade, and look like dung if poured on/with a seperate color. Flouro yellow is a little better, but it still has the same issues as stated above. IMO the best way to get a decent chartreuse color is to use flouro yellow and very little white then add a gold flouro powder to the mix. If your going to store the baits for any length of time. Otherwise, spike-it works great for day use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
