Zbass Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 The tube plastic is harder than the 502. It is the 500. The biggest benefit of using this for tubes is that the walls are sturdier and the tails stay attached better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bojon Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 I agree with Zbass.You should use the #500.This keeps the walls from collapsing.If you want a more lively tail,dip in #502 first followed by a deep angle of #500,after a couple of minutes of cooling.The #502 tails will get ripped up more easily,and the thicker stiffer body willl maintain it's shape,but catching fish is my first priority.

Fishlicker, Bears baits sells some good tube plastic as well. It's the Calhoun's brand. I've been using it a bunch for tubes and have had good results with it. I believe it will also be cheaper than the LC 500. Just my:twocents:, JIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
