Kevin, what's your favorite Plastisol to use? Do you prefer scented? And if so, what kind have you had the best luck with? You got me thinking about making Lizards now!
It depends. I use Dead On black bucket swim bait blend for anything I want to sink and clarity isn't important. It gets a lot of bubbles and I don't use a vacuum chamber. Injecting it's not a problem, hand pouring clarity matters. For hand pouring I use Bait Plastics medium blend, it floats unless you add salt. Salt affects clarity though.
I like to use medium blend no matter what, I can always add softener or hardener if needed. General use I Use Dead On, it doesn't burn easily.
Mine is a 7" Do It essential series. If you use WD 40 to lube it they turn out with a good finish. I'm up for a swap For a few weeks if you are. PM me an address and I'll sent it. I've been wearing em out on the purple and the watermelon candy I make. I also been tail dipping em in Spike It Garlic.
I'm trying another wood lure that's a little different. This is a prototype for the size and lip angle. I float tested it and it's rises at a good speed, I need to see how it cranks down. I'm going to leave it natural wood with a two part epoxy top coat.I'll check the action in a couple days. This is working towards a jerk bait type bait for big trout in the winter. I wanted a bigger profile than my last one.
