striperman36 Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 I have searched and searched. Nobody has this holographic mylar that is in swimbaits? Nobody? Please help me sleep at night by letting my know where to get it? Thanks, The sleepless striped bass fisherman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longhorn Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 a photo of what you're trying to duplicate would help get you an answer. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striperman36 Posted April 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 a photo of what you're trying to duplicate would help get you an answer. Good luck. inside a storm shad or any weighted plastic swimbait is that holographic film. when you had the thing open it looks just like something you would get at Micheal's or like a thin mylar sheet wrapped around the lead to keep it from seperating from the plastic.

Smallie Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 inside a storm shad or any weighted plastic swimbait is that holographic film. when you had the thing open it looks just like something you would get at Micheal's or like a thin mylar sheet wrapped around the lead to keep it from seperating from the plastic. I have wondered whether this would work too. If you Google "Mylar" you will see that it has service temps that range from 250 to 450 degree Fahrenheit and one site said the melting point is 500 degrees F. So, since you have a source for Mylar, give it a try and let us know how it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhahn427 Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Did you look at the Mirage Flashabou sheets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishin14 Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Does anyone know what material that is in all these soft plastic baits. I am also looking for the material that will withstand the heat. Thanks, Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerworm Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 i believe it was basstrix that used to or maybe they still do make some small dropshot minnows with a holographic foil inside them. so somewhere out there is a source??? maybe larry dahlbergs site has something???

mark poulson Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Did you look at the Mirage Flashabou sheets Flashabou is the way to go. It's in the fly fishing section of tackle stores. I don't know how microwave safe it is, but it will withstand the temps. that we need to melt plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
