Default Fall plastics

I shot these couple kinds of plastics up in the last day and a half. The boxed baits are 2" gliders for Crappies. The loose baits are a 3" baits for waldo.

I have about thirty different molds and inject the plastic myself starting with the raw plastic and coloring it the way I want. Its an interesting hobby. I can do things with the plastic that you aren't going to find on store shelves. Here are some examples of 4" Ring Worms.

Here are other examples.

The clear with chartreuse/orange lines were a hot one on the river when the last spring right about the time when the water started moving good without getting too high.

What color glitter do you have in those char/orange core shots? UV too ?

The glitter is a micro glitter that Do-It sells and is only in the clear plastic. There are two colors of glitter actually: iridescent fire opal and silver. The iridescent fire opal really doesn't do much until some color around it [in this case thru it] comes into play, and then it will bounce color all over when light hits it.

Look at Do-It's sale site under the lead molds section. Its in with the paints.

That glitter has been on the wish list for a couple weeks now. I wondered what fire opal would look like. Real fire opals put on a light show for sure. Janns has it also.
