MonteSS Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 I tried the micro ballons. You need ALOT of them to make a bait float with a hook. Made plastic very hard and white opaque so as said colors were ugly. OK for black. white, green pumpkin etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpssports Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 How much beads would you mix per cup? I'm currently using MF for my baits that need floatation but was wanting to mix some of the beads for my darker colors with Calhoun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Ray Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) I have to ask you guys this question. Because I am not sure. I tried using that stuff about two months ago for the first time. When I was scooping it out a big cloud of it puffed up. I was wareing my face mask. After that I have been coughing like crazy and I am scared that stuff jacked me up. How dangerous is this stuff.

Baitjunkys Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 Its not good for you without proper PPE. You got to be very gentle handling it in open air, Its just like anything else that carry's dangers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 I tried them for a couple weeks. The risk is not worth the reward IMO. Yes they are dangerous to breathe, and unless I was doing something wrong, it took a bunch of that stuff to make a difference. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinfool Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 They're tiny glass bubbles. Definitely not good for the respiratory system if inhaled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
