I've been trying to toughen up my plastics without hurting their performance I've been using medium and really like it but the bodies tear pretty easily around the barb so I tried both hard and medium hard on the bodies and stuck with medium for the tails I like both of the harder formulas for the bodies i caught 30+ fish on that little stinger and it is good to go for another trip.I think it actually outperformed the medium baits cause it was always up on the barb where it was supposed to be.
Nice results!!!!!!!
which plastic are you using.
Had been using calhouns but am trying lureworks injectasol and like it pretty well so far,what are you using now?
Using collarless jigs versus collared jigs will greatly extend plastic life. I use a drop of super glue behind the jog head and touch the plastic head to it.
That's a nice little fish there buddy. I owe you a phone cal, covered up on this end. Soon as I get back from FL I'll get with you. Merry Christmas, and leave some for somebody else.
I'm using the new plastic from do-IT ESSENTIAL it is awesome stuff no bubbles you could run the temperature up pretty high reheating all you want NO COLOR change you can call them up for a sample and try it out for yourself all guarantee you one thing you'll change over I am 100% sold on it and get ready to order my second 5 gallon .Quote:
