Just try the M-F supersoft and all your problems will go away.

Re: trying to match zooms softness

We use the LC super soft and its pretty darn close to Zoom's texture. It is also pretty close texture wise to MF super soft.
We started off using Calhouns and switched to LC and I will never look back. Seemed like there was to many variables with Calhouns. With LC I just heat and pour, make it a little harded, just add some salt.

Re: trying to match zooms softness

I use 1 1/2 oz softner, 1 cup of plastic and 1/4 cups of salt to pour Stick baits when using Calhoun plastic.That gave me the same feel as a senko-- If your not using salt id say try 1/2 oz of softner per cup of plastic. hope that helps
