Nuetral Buoyance Plastics?

[RandyFish]

Guys,

One thing that drive me nuts is that every brand of plastic tends to have differing levels of buoyance -- even switching between types of lures. e.i.: worms vs tubes vs saladmanders

I really like worms and creatures to have a slow fall, senko like, when Carolina rigged.

In other words, they float enough to rise when pulled, but then either fall slowly or suspend with 3/0 or 5/0 hook in them.

I do not like 3X or Snap Back plastics except for very specific applications.

They will float, for sure, but they do not suspend very well...it seems like you weight them past their buoyant-point and -- Bang! -- they drop like stone.

Any suggestions here?

Regular palstisol without salt in it is about as nuetrally bouyant as you can get, put to much glitter in it and it sinks, on a hook it has a super slow fall, look for something thats not loaded with salt, for somestuff the 3x junk is ok, I used to like it, then I realized that my hookup percentage is dump with it, cause it wont slide off the hook barb to hook fish, I wont use it anymore,.... well ok maybe the Lizards this spring on a carolina rig.

I bought some "stick-o LITES" from Bass Pro Shops.. they were GREAT.. and the "lites" mean a very very slow sink rate.. very bouyant.. yet flexible like the orginal senkos by Gary.

i read once an article ( i searched for it for over an hour and couldn't find it for all of you)But it was from this scientist guy who did all these lab tests on senkos and all the knock offs to see which knock off was the cloesest in chemical make up as the true senko. And the winner was one that i had never heard of and that is made by wackyworm and called wacko worm.

i myself have never tried it but it should be good. he also told that the most inconsistent were the BPS Sticko's. He said you could have one package that was nearly identical to yammamotos and then the next pack would float. i am not here to step on toes or endorse products i thought i would just put the word out there from someone more reliable then me. if i do come across that article i will post it. ike
