I get 5 gallons shipped to my door for about $130. For my swimbaits I use Calhouns medium. It is alot cheaper to get 5 gallons at a time than to order just one gallon. www.bearsbaits.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone2long Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 I believe bear still lets you split your 5 gallons in 2 1/2 gallons & mix compounds say 2 1/2 medium 2 1/2 hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB GONE Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 I think you will be happy with any medium or regular plastic. M-F, Chemionics (Bear), Lurecraft, PolyOne (Del-mart), Ozark Plastics, Calhouns... All have plus and minus to them. Find the one you like and learn how to cook it right. Everybody will have an opinion on a different plastisol but very few have used all of the types available out there. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick reif Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Just out of curiousity, does plastisol have a shelf life? I've considered buying in 5 gallon bulks, but it would probably take me about 2.5-3 years to use it all. I'm small taters and like it that way, but my buddies are putting in requests for my chunks all the time now, and I'm tired of running out of virgin plastic. It is much cheaper than 1 gallon at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB GONE Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Mix it periodically and store in a climate controlled area and you will be fine. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
