you can go about that two different ways you can get a hardener to go in your plastic or you can buy it hard already mixed up. They have three different categories to pick from soft, medium and hard but you can make it hard as you want.

The problem with going with harder plastic to make it more durable, you will loose action for the bait so its a trade off.

Yep....I would think that is right.

Jacob's has a new mold a shad stinger (2 1/2) that has a segmented tail. I was wondering if it wouldn't break off when you cast it or jig it. Anyone tried it?

I havent tried it the new Jacobs but the thing I tell people is if you loose tails on bait X but not on bait Y and they are the same bait then most likely bait X catches more fish because its softer thus better action. I gladly swap more lost tails if it adds more fish

Your right MO

I agree with you mo . I have always used soft plastic on making my plastic baits and you guys know the rest of the story. i caught somebody playing with duck feathers mo is took a real interest guys and playing with those feathers.
