Mayos Baits Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 I purchased 5 gallons of thr M-F sinking plastic. I have tried it a few times and I can't get the same pouring results I get with the regular MF plastic. It seems alot thinker to me and does not pour as well. I also ran a batch threw my presto pot and it seemed real thick in there also. Have you guys used this plastic with success? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB GONE Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 I have used it without issue. It heated the same and was the same when pouring. I'd get with Jeff directly. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.J. Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 How is this stuff anyway? I keep wanting to pull the trigger on it, but can't get myself to do it. Is this going to have an impact on stick making? Less salt so more durable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Prager Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 I find that it pours the same as the regular. I have only used it for sticks so far. I'm using about 40% less salt so the color is quite a bit better and clearer. It takes a little bit more softener and they do seem more durable.

camrynekai Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Love it for sticks and drop shot baits...It is a MUST for any Sinking or neutrally buoyant bait...It is tougher and you will get much, much better looking colors because you will use 35-40% less salt, which drops the opaqueness quite a bit. I have not had any pouring issues at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smallie Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 The sinking plastic comes in medium and soft. Which one are you guys using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBC Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 The medium was too hard for my taste. Extremely durable but not enough action/wiggle. I am using the soft and love it. My stix are more durable and use less salt. I also stopped using the "sugar" flakes from senkosam with this plastic. I have noticed that it doesn't pour quite as smooth as the standard MF supersoft plastic but haven't had much of an issue with this as long as the mold is hot. I have not been able to pour swirls with much success with the sinking plastic but I have only tried twice so far with cold molds.

HAWGHUNNA Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Are the sticks near neutral with not salt,using the sinking plastic? Anyone poured any baits other than sticks using this plastic? I ordered 5 gallons from MF yesterday,and was just curious about some of the characteristics of the baits being poured with it.
