Senkosam Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 I've been using Lake Fork frogs for over a year and for the life of me can't figure out the plastic formulation. It doesn't have salt in it but is still denser than salt water plastic though softer. Lake Fork frogs are totally different than Zoom frogs which are loaded with salt but less flexible. Adding hardener to medium grade does not produce the same type plastic. Rage Tail Craws also have the same quality plastic. I'm thinking that if I add enough clear flakes, which I've used in the past to firm up plastic and add a few grams of weight, that might be the answer. Any ideas would be welcome.

TAE73 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Do the baits have fine sand? I heard about using sand at one time on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senkosam Posted July 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Do the baits have fine sand? I heard about using sand at one time on here. No grit of any kind. Last night I was able to duplicate the formula using fine (.008) clear flakes. Flakes with melt some with temps above 300 degrees and add a different density than salt or sand. I had a feeling it was an additive other than hardener that made the difference. I can use soft ofrmedium soft plastisol depending on final softness.

powerworm Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 there are lots of companies that use "fillers" other than salt because they are cheaper than plastisol mainly i believe and for no other reason then try and make up some kind of marketing gimmick to go along with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
