gadawgs Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Im considering trying out the soft plastic side of pouring and was looking at lurecrafts "green plastic" but i didnt know if it would be better to buy the medium and soft grade and mixing them or just the medium and adding softener. i plan to start with stickbaits and im more concerned with action than durability so any advice is appreciated. my only experience with pouring is remelting old worms a few years ago until i read about how dangerous it is.

nova Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 (edited) Firstly; welcome. I would suggest that you start with regular plastic in the soft mode. Get a bottle of softner so that you can make your baits even softer because salt will stiffen the plastic. I have not used the "green" plastic so I can't comment on how it is to melt and pour. One thing about using "virgin" plastic; it's not anything like remelting old used plastic. You'll enjoy the differance. Once you get going, ask any question you want. Remember; there are no stupid questions only stupid answers. Good luck and let us know how you are doing. www.novalures.com Edited April 26, 2011 by nova Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerworm Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 1 thing about the "green" plastic is it is a great idea for the environment but once you add your colorant that is not "green" you are defeating your purpose!! i 2nd start with soft and add softener to your recipe when using salt. we have 1 customer is SC who likes a lot more salt than the 2 to 1 ratio and i add a little over 1/4 cup of sodtener per cup os super soft to get some flex in them but he wanted baits that sink like rocks and they do do that!1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitbull Baits Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Green plastic has to be kept around 340 to 350 in a presto pot to pour smooth. Doesn't yellow fast as others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
