Re: 'Best' Plastic

When I first started I used calhoun but I soon gave it up because the oder gave me migrains. It wasent untill a buddy turned me on to Lurecraft that I picked it backup. A side from that I still perfer Lurecraft because of the diffrent formulas which make it easy to use. I use 536 for sticks, grubs and our bigger worms, 502 for brush hogs, zippers and smaller finnes worms. The only softner needed is for sticks.

Re: 'Best' Plastic

I have been using lure-craft 536 for several years and had no problems until this past winter. They must have changed the formula because now I having to add softner to it for the consistancy needed. Never had to do it before this winter. I have since switched over to M-F super soft and love it. My question is: Where can I find the M-F for a decent cost. I found Zeiners so far was the cheapest but they killed me on shipping. M-F web site is about $10 higher than the lurecrap. Just looking to save some money. Thanks in advance, Signed, $Broke$

Re: 'Best' Plastic

Just curious, has anyone noticed the M-F dyes "bleeding" out of the lures over time? It seems that any of our lures that's got a red based dye in it is doing this. In the shop I had several different colors just laying on the counter and with humidity it seems the dye starts coming out and the lures get really sticky. It only does it with red-based dyes though (ie amber, strawberry, purple (not the non-bleed), etc.)

Re: 'Best' Plastic

All of the plastics should float without the weight of a hook.
