rixon529 Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Hey Everybody. :confused: Quetion - has anyone ever tried using a Mylar insert in their baits - like the Storms have in them? (It gives that holographic reflection of light from the inside of the bait.) I believe its called a holographic metallized polyester. If anyone has tried it with any success, I'd like to know your material source, if you'd care to disclose it. Thanks in advance. And Happy New Year to everyone!

VARick Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 I haven't done something like the Storms.. but have used fly fishing flash on a jerk bait, silver on one side and color on the other. Looks more like a lateral line in the bait. Mixed results so far, will give them a better try in the spring when I know that flash makes a difference in cloudy water.

bassn1 Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 I tried that with craft store mylar, all it did was curl up and melt when the hot plastic hit it. I'd be interested in finding the right material too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angler310 Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 I too would be interested. I wounder if Senkosam would have access to mylar strips through his glitter providers?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VARick Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 I don't pour the plastic over the flash material. I use a sewing needle to pull it through after it has cooled. Just have to go slow to not break it and a little worm oil helps too. Unfortunately I have not been able to find long needles for the longer baits. Hope that helps.
