Hand Crafted Angling Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 I was wondering if anyone has tried the flex x 200 bait plastics makes recently. There is almost no information on their website and all of the posts on here are a few years old. From what I can gather it was a formula that was actively being worked on. I know there were some complaints about memory issues I was wondering if anyone got around them yet. They atleast fixed the price. It’s 75 bucks now instead of 120. It would be sweet to be able to make my own elastic style baits. Atleast in my experience they have always outfished regular plastisol.

alsworms Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 I don't know how the formula is, but Bait Plastics sells it on Ebay...... https://www.ebay.com/itm/402945028982?hash=item5dd1653376:g:o~wAAOSw2npg1NbL&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwJr4oooV8pKwMkIS8clGW3nO4sQQs4Ug%2Ff92BvB6X3r8mYAiB%2BTJCT10ec4JGxXXw6gEi%2BvzX6K%2B1E6jVAbNR2MGxUJ4TKL1XpFZ1Motelkp%2FYwWYUftgWDw%2Fx9dciPz13yjTXFSLn9k%2FccUTxw%2F27yNXXfDHkOi0H2oyacbZ4dMIOt0ZbsVdXPi%2BoOm4E2GBLpxvur9NAdPY%2FuO574aNJrcAdEu3yOOUBtGD04L1UCu0kK0uZdHCqauMX7FL56lOw%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR-KZquCjYg If this is the same stuff Z-Man uses, I have a love/hate relationship with it LOL. Excellent plastic, but good luck getting a screw in lock in that stuff! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hand Crafted Angling Posted July 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 Yeah but once it’s on there it lasts longer than the jig. That’s the stuff I was talking about but it’s only $75 on their website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the video it should be very close to the z man stuff but there is almost no info out there. It also can’t be microwaved. I’m gonna pull the trigger soon and I’ll report back here. I just wanted to check first and see if anyone had an experience with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always called it Z-Man's term, "Elaztech." Didn't realize it's the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used ONE Z-Man Razor Shad out of the pack. Safe to say I've caught at least a dozen bass on it and it's still going strong! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
