slaven Posted February 6, 2024 Report Share Posted February 6, 2024 Hello, I am looking for the softest plastic formula on the market (US/EU/Asia). Any ideas what might be the company offering such a product? I’m going to produce very small baits (less than 1 inch) and softness is the key concern. I’ve tried some ready formulas from the popular brands but it seems they are still a bit too stiff when the plastic cures. I am looking for an original formula without the necessity to add softeners etc. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basscatlildave Posted February 6, 2024 Report Share Posted February 6, 2024 I'm sure more experienced guys will chime in but Dead On finesse blend is very soft compared to other stif I have used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveMc1 Posted February 6, 2024 Report Share Posted February 6, 2024 Just add softener (plasticizer), Then you can carry one plastic formula and make it suit multiple applications. Realistically that is all you're going to get from a manufacturer, a formula that has more plasticizer in it than a firmer compound. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I want it softer, I'll add the softener. Lately I use only the medium stretch, and add softener or hardener depending on my needs for whatever bait I'm making. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted February 8, 2024 Report Share Posted February 8, 2024 Back when I did this, I couldn't find anything softer than MF super soft. Don't know why you'd need anything softer than that. But like the others have said, to save your current batch, softener will do the trick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
