Slims Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Whats up guys? I started injecting trout worms last year. I bought a gallon of supersoft and started pouring. I made about 1200 worms. they felt awesome. Never actually tested them on the water. Well, they are too damn soft. Unless Im using a super thin wire mosquito hook they almost cant be baited. And, they are usually only good for one fish per bait. The action is sick because they are so soft, but I want at least a few strikes per bait as a consumer. What plastic do you guys suggest for really small baits like trout worms? Also, at this point I just want to unload the baits I have poured and make enough to buy new plastic. What are your suggestions on how to unload them? How should I approach the wording regarding the softness of the plastic and the fact it is a one fish bait? I am currently looking to sell on ebay and local forums, but I dont want my first batch being remembered for being cheap, too soft, wont stay on the hook etc. I also do not want to remelt with a hardener so thats not happening at this point. Any ideas? Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteSS Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 I would remelt them and add some hardener. ....Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHK Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 call the supersoft and be done with it. i use Calhoun Soft for all my baits and have yet to have a complaint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the baits are not what you want to be remembered for then don't put them out there. To correct your problem you have two solutions to choose from. Remelt and stiffen them up or put them in the trash and chalk it up to part of learning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteSS Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Remelting is the same as using new plastic. I don't get why you just wouldn't do that. ...Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get why you just wouldn't do that. ...Bill Mostly because they have been sitting in worm oil for 7the months and I don't know how will affect the remelt, and also because I don't want to destroy them by adding too much hardener.
