carolinamike Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I saw this morning that Spike-It (Lureworks) has added some new formulas to their website. I called and done some inquiries about it, they now produce Gel-A-Lure, Pourasol for hand pours, Injectasol for hand injection, and Ultrasol. From what I understand, Ultrasol is a formula that has no settling. Also they're going to be offering an optical brightener, which will help take the yellow tint out of white baits. It's been a while since the hand pours have seen new products made available to them. I think that if this goes well for Lureworks, that you'll see a lot of new and different products put out for hand production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB GONE Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I know these guys are smart (they are from Georgia...LOL!!) so I know they haven't bet the farm on hand pouring stuff. Not many do it and I doubt many will randomly pick it up with hand injection. I am checking things out with them and will make an order this week to get the low down. I hope to use their pourasol, injectasol, etc and see how this compares to current soultions. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ute Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I brought in 5 gallons of the pourasol last week and have been satisfied so far. I got a sample of the brightness additive but have not had a chance to try it. I am looking froward to trying the new plastisol, as well.

Largehead Louie Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I hope it works well. There plastisol is going to be my new brand. I've been using Chemionics, but due to personal reasons, have decided to use different plastisol from a new supplier. After looking around, I've decided on Lureworks. Fingers crossed.

How is the fumes/smell, heating in mic (if you use), clarity of cooked plastic, etc? Thanks! Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyGrub Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Yes, the prices do look good and look forward to seeing feedback on these different plastisols. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollywood hooksett Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 i agree those prices are cheaper than everywhere else i seen..want to here more replies on people using it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB GONE Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 I am going to call an talk with someone also. I'd like to know the differences as the Ultrasol is priced about the same as most plastisols I see out there. I will guess the difference is in the resins they use to produce each. It would be nice to see some more specs on the individual pages for each type. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Jim, I was using medium. I don't use a microwave ever, but in the Presto Pot the smoke and fumes was about the same as Calhoun's or Lurecraft. The clarity was good. There is very little settling even after the bucket has set for about a week. I am curious about the difference between the pourasol and injectasol. I always finish out the pot by pouring open pour molds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mradamh Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Thanks for the info!!!! Jim I have a request into them for samples. It looks very interesting considering the prices. I'm happy with MF, but price is king in this world and if it compares, then I'm sold. I swear by the MF plastics though, it'd be hard to change, but saving money like that cannot be passed up.

powerworm Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 if you remember the deaired soft and medium that Bear sold awhile back its supposed to be better than what that was to begin with!! and that stuff was great to work with IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollywood hooksett Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 i agree with adam, price is king..i thinks it's $22 a gal...that's pretty good....i just noticed one of the other suppliers went from $55 to $30, i wonder why...hhhhmmm maybe it should have been $30 to begin with?

Jim here is the reply I got from them on the diff, Ultrasol uses a different plasticizer that gives a softer feel at the same relative Shore OO rating Bruce McElroy Spike-It Outdoors, Inc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donk18 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 I am new to pouring and i went with the lureworks. I just poured my first few baits and it seems pretty good. I have both the soft and hard. The soft is really soft and seems pretty durable. It smokes a bit when heating but i use a hot plate not a microwave.

I assume you are using the "Pourasol" version. When you get a chance, please comment on the plastics clarity, and buoyancy (both the soft and hard), along with any bubbles issues.

gone2long Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 is this what your talking about. looks pretty slow. http://www.youtube.c...h?v=2XtWrOvlS5A I've been wondering if you cold make dots\eyes\bloodlines in your mold then pour hot plastisol it would cure the gel a lure?

bassbum85 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 I just purchased the medium pourasol and some dye. I have never poured before but am dead set on making some baits of my own design. Although I have experience with other plasitols I will be more than happy to share my experience using this product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donk18 Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 The clearity is good. I poured some clear worms with holographic and blue flake last night and they looked really good. As for floating, the soft floats great. I made a craw mold that is about 5in and weights well over an ounce. It is a beast and it floated when i threw it into the fish tank. As for the hard it is not as boyant. But I have to say the soft seems very strong yet very very soft. Seems like it will hold up well. the bubbles are not bad at all but like i said this is the only brand i have used. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
