    Default Need to lean on y'all experience


    Today I got some great news, the first injections of the molds I got from snake were a hit! All but one color of the 7 I gave him caught fish! They had 35 in the boat before 12:00. Product review, my guide buddy said they were excellent but, the 2" paddle tail did not flutter wildly till he reeled on them(we long troll .08 mph) I used a med. plastisol because it was given to me, here is the question: will adding a softener work or am I opening a can of worms? I plan to order 2.5 gals. From spike it but I have 1/4 of a gal left! Can I effect the plastic with the softener to make the tails have a little more action? I good where I'm at, and will order the softer plastisol later! My wife already thinks I'm crazy with this new venture! Shhhh don't tell her Iam ! Any advise will be taken ! Thanks in advance LB

    You can add softener to your medium and get the plastic to relax a little. Be sure to use stabilizer with the softener...not a lot but maybe a half-dozen drops to 4 ounces.

    I have used softener with the medium plastic. It will make it limper.

    Spike it medium plastic is pretty soft guy I don't think I would add any softener myself but that is totally up to you.
