Mudd Butt Baits

have you ever see that bait? Again it is about 15 years old and will still float a 4 hook. The bait has broke down over the years, but why can't we find the plastic used in this bait?

I have been reading about EVA plastic, they use is in a ton of stuff. If a guy can get his hands on it, I would think I could mix it with the plastisol and get the bait to float. DuPont has a ton of differents types that may work. I also looked into adding sytrofoam beads to the mix, but I can not find out if after the beads melt if they would still float? Here is the bait that I am making. It will float a #5 hook. The plastic was really nice. Have any of you tried adding a more boyuant plastic to the plastisol? Do any of you know this bait? Can the bait be looked at by someone and then then can tell me wha it was made of?

Does anyone know if these too are the micro bubbles? It does not say on the web site. I will call them and see, but not open today.

What is another way to get a 5" worm to float with a hook? What about the rubber used to make the molds to pour baits in. I am sure that would float.

Top down, ok so I could put the mold in a vise and that would work well. I see someone is using like 3 table spoons to a couple of plastic, can I add to many bubbles to the plastic? Will the plastic stiffen up with the bubbles, so would the oil go in after the plastic is heated up? Is a microwave the best way to heat it up, or how about a pan that has the temp dial on it?

I am new to the site and to pouring my own worms. I will have my aluminum two piece mold coming next week, along with all the stuff needed to start. I have Lure Craft 536 and 502, supper floater bubbles, oil and two colors. I have searched the site for info on working with the bubbles and found only a few posts. I am looking to float a 5" worm with a #3 skip gap hook. I want it to float on top of the water, not float if I reel or it may float. I am coping a worm that I bought of tv 15 years ago, it will float a #5 hook without any problems. I am hoping that once I mix the oil with the bubbles, 50/50 that they will be less likely to take flight. I will be using the 6oz injector and the 7 cavity mold to make these. This bait does have a unusual shape, so what is the best way to inject the plastic? Do I want the plastic to come form the bottom of the mold, so that the air will raise out the top? Or can the mold sit on the table and inject from the side? The cavities do have air grooves. I know I have a lot in my first post, but not finding what I need and hoping you guys may know. Thanks
