Bassinfool Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Spike it dip and dye will bleed to other colors once in the bag. I would shoot the mold with the tail color you want and then cut the tail off and shoot the body color like suggested above. That's what I've always done. If that's too much work, or you just want to do it faster, look into buying a designated tail mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamcodman Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 What about dipping the tail? I've haven't tried it yet but plan on it this afternoon. I've bought plastics before and I'm pretty sure the tails were dipped in another colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinfool Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 When I've dipped tails and put them in the bag the dye has bled out onto the other baits. The best way to do it is to either buy a tail mold or to shoot the entire bait in the tail color and then cut and leave the tail then shooting your body color. It's painstaking, tedious work but in the long run it will give you a better looking, more professionally finished bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
