    Default Tough plastic


    Was wondering what's the best plastic as far as being tough and hard? I use mf and add harder tried the saltwater blend can't tell much difference. Is there anything else? Thanks..

    The plastic I switched over to completely as being really doing good for me polysol we are using their hard plastic it will take high temperatures without any problem the thing I like most about it is it gets hot 365 350 and it is like water you can shoot the real small cavity molds contact them for a sample and try it out for yourself I went through 15 gallons without any problems Polysol LLC – Vinyl Plastisol Coatings .

    Are you using hard in all your baits?

    Thanks guys for the info I'll have to give it a try..what I try and do is to use hard on the body colors just to make it a little tougher..not sure about using it on the tails as I don't want to take away the action of the jig...

    That is the question I was asking Bob as he has quite a few baits that 'quiver'.
    I equate hard with 'stiff' which may or may not be the case.

    Yes to your question it does not bother the action on the plastic baits you should contact him and get a free sample and you'll see what I'm talking about I've used all the plastics on the market and so far they're plastic is the best .

    Maybe some of the guys that have been using my plastic Baits Will come on here and tell you exactly how the plastics I have been working for them .

    Thank you Bob.
    I have some of your baits and they work 'great'.
    Had no idea they were made with 'hard' plastic.

    Hey Shortdraw. Frank300 makes a super tough bait that has great action. I have caught over 300 fish on one jig without any tearing. It is a little "scuffed". I break some off, but I've never had one tear up.
    And thanks again for the jigs you gave me at the Skiatook camp. Hopefully we can get together for another camp. The wife and I are about to head for Montana for 4 1/2 months, where it's a lot cooler and the trout are feeding.
