Anyone had any luck with the Plastic from Spike-It? Thinking about ordering 2.5 gallons of there Med.
For what I'm pouring it does not have to be special. But don't want something that is hard to work with. Will be hand pouring it.

never tried it myself
I like it. for one, its a whole lot cheaper. two, cheaper and third, yep , cheaper! besides that, u will get some bubbles. some people dont like it? I dont think the fish mind and its cheaper than the rest!other than the bubbles, its good stuff. the bubbles aint a big deal. Try it u will like it!
Got a gallon of it to try but have not gotten in it yet. Won't be long though. My calhoons is about to run out and then I'll be in it.CF
I use it with no problems. Do not understand how it can be so much cheaper than the others but not complaining.
Thanks guy's have 2.5 gallons on the way to try out. If it works will be ordering 5 gallons.

It bubbled way too much for my taste. I spent too much time waitin on the bubbles to rise... Then reheat... Let sit to rise. But once the bubbles were gone it worked fine and did t reappear on reheats. Just too much time involved for me cuz i dont sell a bait with bubbles. Spike it will send u a sample to try for those who are skepticle.
The bubble thing keeps me away. Like RD says, no sales with bubbles in the bait.
I don't know anything hardly about what you all are doing. However, if you would pull a vacuum on the liquid, bubbles would be gone in about 2 minutes! We do this at work on some thick liquids after we mix them.
RonDon which plastisol was you using? Only ones that I did not like was the Injectasol soft (way to soft for me) and the injectasol hard 40D this one did have bubbles and could not get them worked out. Have poured about 20 gallons of the med hard injectasol without any issues. About to order 5 more gallons.
I first tried the medium. It was a lot softer than what i like. It bubbled a little but i could have dealt with it. So then i tried the hard. Holy cow the 40D is the hardest ive used! You could knock them out if u hit them in the head with a bait! But bubbles were a nuisance. I Then tried the medium hard and liked the hardness but got the bubbles. I imagine i could learn how to use it and make it work if i would take the time. Its just hard to change plastics when i know the cycle times down with what im using!
I just use the plastisol from Rod Building Supplies | Lure Making Supplies | Fly Tying Supplies | Fishing Hooks because that is what I started with and like RonDon I have gotten used to the times it takes in the microwave as well as the drops of coloring I need to use in it to make what works for me.
The only two I have tried is the iSpike it and CCM. End up giving a lot of baits away so I prefer the one that cost half as much. Do like the CCM heat stablizer and worm oil but I mix the worm oil with bears shrimp scent.
Thanks guy's my 2.5 gallons from Spike-it shipped today. So should have it next week, then get to use it the following week. As were heading to Pickwick Camping and fishing most of next week.:biggrin
