rhahn427 Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Anybody try it ........ Any opinions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBehr Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I really like it. Low odor (big thing at my house!), very temperature tolerant (you have to get it REALLY hot to burn it !). Very clear. It is also Phthalate free It seems more elastic..."tougher". Make sure you completely mix it every time you use it! It doesn't hard pack...but it will settle fairly quickly (like a lot of other formulas!). After I mix up the gallon box really well ....I dispense it into a couple pint bottles I have. I just make baits for myself and buddies so I don't go through a gallon at a time...and it's easier to shake and mix the pint bottle when I'm making a round of baits 4oz at a time. Like with any plastic...buy a pint or a gallon... and try it before you invest in a large amount. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stock's Lures Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 I like it a lot. You can remelt multiple times before it yellows. Verrrry few bubbles if you mix well, but get some softener when working with salt in it. It toughens up a ton. (Which is sometimes good though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish N Chips Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 I just got 2.5 gallons of it and it was 8 dollars flat rate shipping. I have been happy with it so far. Seems low odor and very little smoke. I did split mine up in smaller containers to make it easier to shake up. Seems pretty clear and makes a nice soft and stretchy bait. I have used it for sticks, craws and swimbaits so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 $55 for a galion delivered to me in Ca. seems reasonable if it's that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rixon529 Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 I heard they ship from Iowa. Is that right? Archery1 - was that $24 shipping quote for one gallon? Thanks. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DF1 Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 2.5 gallons or less falls under their flat rate shipping witch is like 8 bucks, 5 gallons or more has to be calculated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walking Dead Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Mark, Not promoting anything or a site, but if I lived in Cali I would buy this product from TackleWharehouse. An order over $50 shows it at $0.00 to your location. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emptystringer81 Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 One thing I have noticed with the Essential plastic is it bubbles really easy, I didn't have that problem with the MF plastic from bass tackle. It does say on the container that stirring before it gets to 350 degrees will cause bubbles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyliller68 Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 How many baits can you make with a gallon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walking Dead Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 I think that question is loaded with way too many variable to answer. What type of bait, size of bait etc will make a difference in the answer. Add salt or not? I can get 12 good 702 craws from about 6 ounces of plastic. That includes the sprue and a little left in the injector. That is just one example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senkosam Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Ordered a gallon last night. May add softner if plastic is more like salt water plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
