    Default Experiment with results


    I've been trying to toughen up my plastics without hurting their performance I've been using medium and really like it but the bodies tear pretty easily around the barb so I tried both hard and medium hard on the bodies and stuck with medium for the tails I like both of the harder formulas for the bodies i caught 30+ fish on that little stinger and it is good to go for another trip.I think it actually outperformed the medium baits cause it was always up on the barb where it was supposed to be.

    Using collarless jigs versus collared jigs will greatly extend plastic life. I use a drop of super glue behind the jog head and touch the plastic head to it.

    I mix medium and hard to get what I like. I've had customers catch 75 fish on a jig. It outlasted his paint job on the head. Much easier to mix in hard plastisol than hardner.
