Toadslinger Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Hey everyone been experimenting with plastic and seems that these big old bass here in Texas really tear up my swimbaits so I am thinking of going stronger right now I have some regular I am using but thinking abit going to saltwater plastic for my boot tails any comments would really be great Thanks Tad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 The harder the plastic, the less the action. Try add ing hardner to what you have until you reach a happy medium. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliff Ever try LureCraft's Formula 548? Its 60% 502 (medium) and 40% 500 (extra strength). Its in their catalog as "a great formula for Saltwater and Musky baits". I got 5 gallons of it and have been happy with it so far for saltwater applications. Rick H. SE CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SE CT Rick, I saw that new product on LC's website. I have not tried it. Do you any stablizer with it? Seem like I am good for about an hour with what I am using and sometimes my clear will start to get a hint of yellow when I am pouring my clear bodied baits...I know its because of the heat factor and time...I also pour a lot of worms so thats why I have a 5 gal of 536...I wonder how close my 80% 500 and 20% 536 is to LC's 548?
