biggamefish Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Hey guys I've search and couldnt get a good answer, anyways, I've carved out a little 5" paddle tail swimbait that has a flat top that will be in a open top pour mold if that makes any sense, which would be the best soft plastic to use for a 5" swimbait to give it good action and yet still durable ? It's going to be use mainly for large mouth/spotted bass and sometimes stripers Thanks in advanced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane D Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Probably some trial and error. It all depends on the person fishing them. I would start with salt water plastic. If you want tough baits. I used a mix of regular and soft for mine. But did not care how tough they were as long as they swam good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slammingjack Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 I use MF 464. 50%-50% reg. and saltwater. Tough bait with very good action. I do mostly swimbaits. It's swims real good and even catchs fish lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggamefish Posted August 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 What is MF 464?? Sorry really new to this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteSS Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Use regular plastic (any brand) and add one tablespoon of do-it HD additive per 4 oz. Very durable and soft baits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane D Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Mf 464 is a blend of saltwater plastic and regular plastic mixed by the factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggamefish Posted August 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 I also forgot to mention I that I want the baits tail to be able to kick on a slow bottom dragging retrieve, is the 464 plastic soft enough to do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteSS Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Only reason for harder plastic for swims is toothy critters (usually saltwater use) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
