Baitbuster Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Whats the best product for making firetails with plastic baits. Sometimes a red, chartreuse, pink etc tail fire the fish up! Perhaps a system to make some volume also Thx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FATFLATTIE Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Unless its a mold with a slide gate and two injection ports you are just gonna have to buy a tail mold for the bait you are making (many dont make a tail mold for most baits) or just shoot the whole bait in the "firetail" color clip the tails off, put them back in the mold, and shoot the body of the bait.

McLuvin175 Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 For the best results go with a white base coat first then go over that with your final color. That will provide the brightest final color. Going with out a white base coat will work fine too it will just give a different more subtle look. Some Worm Paint or SB Coat Paint from Spike-It/LureWorks would be your best option. The traditional Dip-N-Glo will work too but those are transparent dyes so they will give a different look than a paint will. If you want a true Fire-tail color you might have to custom blend some Hot Pink and Blaze Orange paint at some level or ratio. That will give you your pinkish-orange firetail color.
