CF Try using medium and inject a little slower and hold slight pressure. You will have plenty of action out of a stinger with medium! I never get curled stinger tails. Soft is better with thicker baits.

Thanks. I will give it a try. How is the medium with small curl tails? do they still have good action? CF

Ha Toad I know you knew it.... Just had your eyes crossed!

CF medium works great for grubs. It will be more durable also. You can even shoot a grub with hard and it will flap.

My tails are pulling apart on my stingers? Please help. I'm using a bass tackle stinger mold 669, with the tail mold. My plastic is from dead on plastic. Need help !!!!

Hey Tim. My guess is that you are shooting your body plastic too cool to get a good weld between the tail and body. Try bumping up the heat of the body plastic and see if that helps. Also, it helps to shoot your tails then the full bait as soon as you can. The longer plastic sits around the more likely it is that it will bleed a little oil which can also prevent a good weld. When I shoot two colored baits like that I shoot X amount of tails then come right back and shoot the body color as soon as I am done shooting the tails. Good luck !
