two-colour grubs wanted

Post by peteren »

I like two-colour grubs , with contrast black / white, etc. either side of tails, for their "alternating flash" in action.

I still get Mogambo Grubs (two tone), 6 1/2”,

But ideally after black /white - out of stock.

Also AGM stopped supplying 2" ones for perch; any other sources / links, please?

I've always made my own by welding different soft plastics together.

Buy white and add colour with a waterproof felt tip.
The colour will eventually soak right through but the lures usually dead or lost by then (or atleast mine used to be).

Add white with dulux one-coat undercoat, flakes off over time but short drying time allows a quick repaint.

Thanks Gents,

Buy white and add colour with a waterproof felt tip, I've tried, but does fade.
Me welding different soft plastics together could get messy!
May try contrasting muppet - over- grub combos.

Paint with CabCoat soft plastics paint or simply buy a mould and pour your own.

I've made some 'interesting' patterns by storing white grubs with other colours! Red manns shads work well for colour transfer as do some of the Kopyto shads.

I can’t see your link to know what type of lure you are looking for but have you looked at the custom lure builder on FFSLures website. Tom makes some impressive lures.
