Hey Adam! I don't know if you remember me, but it's Travis, Cynthia's brother and Chris's brother in law. I went to youth group when you used to help them out. I was very surprised when Chris told me today that you were making lures and the you had a youtube channel. I'm definitely thinking about buys some of those Swingheads from you. I mostly fish for smallmouth, but I'm wanting to go largemouth now after I watched the video on the Swingheads! They look awesome

Hey Travis, good to hear from you man! If you continue to watch the channel content you’ll see plenty of Maple, LOL! I run into Chris and Cynthia walking around the lake all the time. Those Swingheads are awesome - definite fish catchers! I made them in 7/16-1/2, 1/4, and a micro version at 1/8 (talk about a smallmouth destroyer!). I think there’s a 3-pack on the site now (link is in the video description) as well as a couple trailer options. For the full size, the 4.25 H-Craw or the 702 craw was be perfect! Take a look at the site, lemme know if you have any questions! Thx again man!

Lure works and mf motor oil deffently looked like the best colour shift. Mf being more on the green side and lure works being more orange. Both seemed to shift nicely from the original base colour. You need to mix a few drops of each together in a 2 tone with monkey milk belly would be sweet. Throw in some flake and you have a winner.

Hello Adam, great videos. Thank you for good content. I'm just getting into making my own soft plastics. I was wondering if any of those colorants are UV reactive? (do they glow under a black light?) And also do you have any experience adding any highlight powder to those motor oil colors?...

@SDGCustomLurecraft 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Cody, thanks for the question! I didn't test them under a blacklight so I can't say - I'm sorry. I can say they are "marketed" as UV Glow colorants while others are, so I'm assuming they are intended for that purpose. I also haven't added highlight to any, but have considered it... in particular, some green highlight with the LW version maaaaaay give you a hint more green without going overboard with the new MF formula (far too green... almost aqua or teal... for my liking). I guess that's the joy of baitmaking, you can experiment and see! Some of my best colors were happy accidents, LOL!

As far as colorant (from a buyer/user, not maker angle)… I honestly was less than impressed with all the single colors. By themselves, I just think there is better looking colors in the same hues available. Then… as usual, ur creative genius kicks in and ur combo creation easily beats them all hands down!! Especially dig the addition of the chartreuse flake… it really sets off the greens in the baits… awesome! Again, great video man!

Good insight, thx! From what I saw (and have since heard from others) the Do-It brand, that sounds accurate. Good call on the green highlight! I often wondered why people leaned toward chartreuse colorant vs green highlight. Seems like the later would produce a better changeable affect. Thx again for the input!
