earthworm77 Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 I know this will pertain to injected baits, but how do companies like Tiki, do those wicked swirl patterns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 I was once told they were made with a rotating injection mold sitting at an angle. Imagine the mold sitting upright at a 30 degree angle while spinning. I can't remember where I heard that, but it makes sense to me.

Richoc Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 Well, I worked in a plastics injection molding plant for 3 years. If the effect is what I think it is they just use a mottiling screw in the barrel instead of a mixing screw. It gives a marbling effect. Is this what your asking about?

conman Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 I just been getting the color I want and then taking the spike-it dye pens and making my own swirl pattern. It may not look like store bought but it works. It also bleeds a little so you dont get the hard lines but then again I have not seen in fish with hard lines of color change.
