OK. I will google them. Thank you. I need to find where I can buy their plastic material so I can make my own. I found lots of sites that sell floaring worms.....but, as I said I just need a small amount to just make a few dozen grubs for myself.

I float mine on carolina rigs with a small walleye float.....it doesn't seem to scare the fish.....I have some that are lime green. I also use them shellcracker fishing with a carolina rig or a drop shot rig to float my redworms off the bottom a little bit.

I have done that and it works well. I just had a dream last night to try and do an underwater presentation with just a hook and grub. The bad part was that every grub I tried in the test bucket this morning also sank the #4 hook.

Hey Ship,
Elaztech is proprietary plastic and can only be made with there heavy pressure machines. They sell grubs at different stores. . There are some micro bubbles you can add to your plastic I hear!

Thanks for the heads up on microbubbles. That is possibly the tip I am looking for.

Be VERY careful with the micro bubbles...they are a significant inhalation hazard.

Is a.mask enough? I have asthma and bronchitis chronic. Thanks.

I don't know if this will help but Mann came out with a tube kit with foam inserts. I bought one but I don't rember using the inserts. My thought was that if I could figure out how to make some small enough, they would probably be great to insert in a tube and float up under a oak tree or around cypress boles for bluegills / warmouths. They will certainly take fly rod poppers.

Is that a mounted crappie on your thread? If it is it's a really nice display. Hoe big was the fish?
