LOL Seriously, everyone has their own opinions, but if you do a search on "plastisol" in the forums section you should find a few interesting discussions.........to say the least!

Driftwood Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Try contacting some of the companies and get samples, then go with the one that gives you the best results. Good luck with the discussions that are sure to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinfool Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 No, no, no, not this topic again. Can we get a moderator to close this before the inevitable fight that is to come? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Bassinfool......I'm just hoping we can keep it civil for once........ Driftwood has a great idea. Calling for a few samples is always a good idea, and then choose what works best for YOU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no set answers and you learn every time you are willing to experiment to satisfy your end results.Let me say this- every manufacturer of plastisol has varied qualities in their own brand- some good ,some bad. You have to decide which works for you.Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archery1 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 only u can decide.. opinions are like!@@! everybody has one and they think theres is the best like as said b4 get some samples and try out. Some people like a soft bait which will rip easier// but heck look at zooms plastic.. it's hard and catches plenty of fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with the discussions that are sure to follow. This is good advice. I err toward softer plastic, because most things I add, like salt, seem to make it harder. Once you've figured out how you want to use your plastics you'll have a better sense of which hardness you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
