ethan3 Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Hmm. I checked out the site, and Ill bet the baits are good. I have never heard of them but there plastisol is cheap. I wonder if its any good. If anyones used it, let me know how it is. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 I haven't even heard of them. Since you have joined here; you can post up what you want and see what kind of deal you can get from some members who sell baits. I'm betting you can and get a good deal as well.

powerworm Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 only use their plastic if you are using it outside or with very good ventilation it smaells awful!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerworm Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 its got more fumes than calhouns ever thought about having by a mile and i think it has a pretty good odor. best thing you can do if your looking for a quality product as they all have pluses and minuses is to just breakdown and get a sample quart from several dealers and see what works best for you!! there is m-f (zeiners is usually cheaper though), delmart and bears baits to name a few.

Richard Prager Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) its got more fumes than calhouns ever thought about having by a mile and i think it has a pretty good odor. best thing you can do if your looking for a quality product as they all have pluses and minuses is to just breakdown and get a sample quart from several dealers and see what works best for you!! there is m-f (zeiners is usually cheaper though), delmart and bears baits to name a few. I know M-F will send you a pint if you pay for the shipping. I think most others would too. It would be worth making a couple of calls. Jon's right (just this one time ) they all have ther +'s and -'s. You need to find what works best for you. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and if you are going to be really getting into pouring, you need better ventiliation than just open doors and a fan.

Ya i know, but for now thats the only place there is room for me to pour in right now. If I can ever clear some space in the garage, ill do it there.

ranger919 Posted February 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 i called ozark tackle and asked about their plastisol and they said its calhoun plastic that the only way it would smell is if you burn it its got more fumes than calhouns ever thought about having by a mile and i think it has a pretty good odor. best thing you can do if your looking for a quality product as they all have pluses and minuses is to just breakdown and get a sample quart from several dealers and see what works best for you!! there is m-f (zeiners is usually cheaper though), delmart and bears baits to name a few.

SHK Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 i called ozark tackle and asked about their plastisol and they said its calhoun plastic that the only way it would smell is if you burn it then they arent using Calhoun Calhoun is all i have used for the last few years an yes it smokes and stinks. but there are a few others imo that are far worse.

GB GONE Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 From personal experience, their soft plastic baits are nice. They compare to any hand injected or hand poured baits IMO. Plastic is good but the fumes are excessive to me in the mic. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerworm Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 its definitely not calhouns there are 2 very different odors between the two plastics. and i dont burn plastic either!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitbull Baits Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Maybe they got a bad batch. It happens so i wouldn't bash there plastic. Its happen to just about every supplier sooner or later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerworm Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 just relating my 6 experiences with their plastic is all no bashing them just describing what its like. and thats over a 4 year period also so most likely not a hit and miss experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
351mustang65 Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 (edited) I am using there plastic right now it is not the best but it's not bad, it does smell a bit. As for there baits they are not bad but the bags they came in where JUNK and leak everywhere but I think they have since changed bags. Also they are not to far from me and I asked the guy if there was anyway I could pick my stuff up to save on shipping and he told me no.
