Here are my top colors.

Used to be a color chart that tells you which color shows up better the deeper they go. I believe it was Green that shows up best. I could be wrong, that happens a lot the older I get.

Motor oil,black with clear glitter tail and tadpole color has produced for me.white glow too.

Reds grey out first, blue is most persistent.

@ Agro: you have or considered double injection to mix colors? I know you have a significant investment already. For you there's a conversion kit to link a pair of injectors to mix rather than pony up for the whole deal. I already do wire, hair, spinners, rigs, got probably 2 dozen jig molds and now you got me thinking about this. 

Purple is a sleeper color for me...

I've taken and split bigger plastics in half down the center then shot it with another color to get two sided colored plastic. I've also shot plastics then chopped of the front part and reshot to get a front and back color. The issue with these small ice fishing plastics is the size. It's really time consuming and about impossible due to the size of the plastics to do the above successful. So instead, what I will do is play with the jig color and plastic color to get a combo color.

There is such a small about of plastic that goes into the mold with these tiny plastics I'm not sure if the duel mode injector would work. Not only that but a lot of the molds split to each side......so I think you might get one side being one color and the other side being the other color when the stream splits to fill the mold.
