Skiin Ian Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I was wonder what plastic everyone is using to pour slow sinking stick baits with? Is everyone using MF 502? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone2long Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Soft or Super soft is more often used along with softener and salt as the salt will stiffen the plastic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinfool Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I'm using LW med/soft pourasol with 2 1/4 T salt and 3/4 T softener in 1/2 cup of plastic. A Yamamoto senko was 11g and mine end up weighing between 10.8-11g and a great looking wiggle. Give it a try, play with it until you get it the way you want it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ipt Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 montess is pretty close. most of us use medium (for consistency) and add our own softener. then the amount of salt (which makes it sink) is all personal preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinfool Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Clarity is the only real issue I have using powdered salt. May have to try the restaurant salt, Bob. Is it essentially the same thing as table salt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinfool Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 I don't know the reasoning behind the non-iodized salt either. Only time I really see iodine is at work in the ER when we're prepping a body part for sterility. I'll give it a try, if it doesn't look better than the powdered salt I can always go back.
