dramone..... All the soft plastics readily available will "float" without additive unless you add salt or a very large amount of glitter to the bait.

The microshperes can be used however you will greatly reduce the number of colors you can achieve as the spheres will turn your plastic a bright white.

As far as the shaky heads go, you may want to post in the Wanted Ads section or go into the hard bait section with your questions.

Good luck!

Jim

Don't add salt to your plastic and they will float.
