Slammingjack Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Has anybody ever used CCM Hard plastisol? Just wondering If it's as good as the say on thier site. I have used LC hard is there any diff. in the two of them? The price is better at CCM, but cheaper ain't always better. Thank you for your help.

MonteSS Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Their medium is good. Never tried the hard. Curious what do you use the hard for? ...Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slammingjack Posted April 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Saltwater, some of the fish got some big teeth. Soft plastisol would be like one fish per bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slammingjack Posted April 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 I have used LC 60-40. Which wasn't bad. But CCM don't have a medium-hard or it's not on thier site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBehr Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 I use medium CCM plastic for Northern Pike and Walleyes...which have some serious teeth! I'm not sure if "hard" plastic would make much of a difference. What REALLY makes a big difference in durability is using the Caney Creek High Density additive. You can catch dozens of bass on a HD Wacky worm! I think most people that have used it don't think it makes a significant difference in the bait action (for bass baits). I use 2 tablespoons/4oz and get about a 1ft/sec drop rate on a Senko type worm (same as a salted bait). It does make the plastic a gray color...so you need to add extra color....and forget about white or transparent. I make all of my Northern Pike sized baits with HD just for the durability alone.

MonteSS Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Made my buddy some saltwater 7" swimbait with the HD additive and medium plastic. I added white drops and pearl powder and they are a little grey but pretty white. Very flexible and durable. He has not tried yet but said they should hold up awesome. ...Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toadfrog Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 I have the CCM hard . Once you get a bait made from it it is pretty tough without loosing much or any action . Takes some getting used to . Each to his own but it is not my favorite . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
