All the cool kids are making coreshot swimbaits. $pecial molds with rods that leave a hollow center down the length of a clear or opaque bait. Pull out the rod, Trim the ends of the lure , load it back in the mold and shoot a dark bloodline.
The not-so-cool kids on youtube are fabbing up their own rods.
I did my own ghetto-fabulos version.
Cheap knitting needles.

The point of the needle is in the port on the mold, allowing the liquid plastic to flow in around the tip, filling the cavity.

A little trimming, then shoot the second color...

The result is a clear bait with a bloodline....
