Our plastics formulas are unique in the industry.  Because of our Small Batch technique of creating baits, we are able to utilizes a system of plastics that creates specific results for each bait design.  

​

Floating or sinking

The foundation of the system is formulating a plastic that will either float high in the water, one that will sink at an even rate or a formula that produces a sink rate somewhere in between.  Because the base material formula has the ability to float or sink, we aren't forced to include unnecessary additives to the baits. Less additives simply means a better quality bait overall.  You'll see the formulation for floating, sinking or moderate listed in the specifications of each bait.  

 

Toughness

Depending on the expected use of a particular bait, we have the ability to utilize a material that provides a variety of toughness.  From the softest flick-shake formula to the toughest redfish-ready formula, each toughness has a specific use.  

Our toughness scale goes from 1 to 5, with 1 being the most pliable and 5 being the toughest. 

The tougher a formulation is, the less damage is done to the lure by fish during the strike, or by toothy fish, or during re-rigging.   But a very tough bait will likely have less action. It's a give and take.

An extremely pliable (or soft) formula will allow the bait to have extraordinary action but will not have the life span of a tougher bait.   

We've developed formulas that provide the very best action while taking into account the toughness needed to keep on catching.  

A trick worm will likely draw more strikes with a more pliable formula of a 1 or 2.  A frog bait has less need for subtle action but sees a lot of potential damage so a toughness of 4 or 5 is a better choice.   Within that scale we've developed great formulas that produce the best action while still being as tough as possible.
