FLOATING Plastisol VS SINKING Plastisol, Playing With The Dead-On Plastix Feather Blend

Welcome to the World's Worst Fishing! We are a fishing-centered TV program that does its best to bring you great fishing content & soft plastic bait making tutorials! We hope to provide our viewers with content that is fun, creative, informative and most of all entertaining. Sit back and watch us bring you the world's worst fishing!
Today we are playing with the new Feather Plastisol from Dead On Plastix. This plastic is a hyper floating plastisol that is made to be an alternative to using floating beads and additives. We will do a compare and contrast with the sinking plastic and the floating plastic to see what differences they have.

Great comparison. Thanks for doing this!

thank you for watching.

Hey Chris I would love to see a blended drop shot minnow with a hand pour. Normal plastic on the bottom and the floating on the top. To see how this would work.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

we will find out how that works

[@tjkendall48176]

Did you ever give this a try?

[@south_coast_tackle]

Another great Chris Jones production! Thanks for the info man. We really appreciate it!

[@luster5497]

Could you make a "fluke lure" that never sink? That's what I want. Soft plastic that never sink. Soft plastic mid water suspending. -Basically a plastic topwater and plastic jerkbait.

[@FreedomFishing]

Love the idea of the floating stuff, because we can always add weight and play with the sink rate. Thank you for your thoughts in this!

Quick question how do they compare in a stretch and strength test?

[@bricekline2904]

Looking to get into pouring my own baits after watching your channel. What would be a better just over all middle of the road blend? I know you said before in pervious videos you said you like the swim/jerk blend cause you live in Florida. I’m just see what would be best being so just starting out is pretty expensive.

Can you use the floating and sinking plastic in a laminate to get unique actions?

[@williamyocum4774]

I do a lot of Carolina style fishing. I use zoom centipede, would like for them to have the floating ability. Have you ever made, or do you know if angling ai make a centipede mold?

[@ooogoogleooo]

whered you get your ribbon tail worm molds..im thinking about getting into this..great vid..i liked the floating..i'd like to find out what material bass pro shops floating 6" worm uses..its kinda like a foam..and its kinda tough

[@bobbyhempel1513]

I would like to have crawfish where the tail and body portion are made from sinking plastic but the claws and other appendages are made from floating plastic so that the claws will always be up in the attack position when it's sitting on the bottom.

Which would be recommended for making soft trout beads for salmon and steelhead float fishing? And would you need softener or hardener or anything like that to mimic an actual egg under the water?

[@stevenkellerman6542]

WOW, those look great! I wonder if you mixed them or clear coated a sinking bait if it would then become a suspension bait?!? Hmmm

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

I would say the sinking bait would still sink...the clear coat wouldnt be enough to float it probably.

[@heckmannpesca]

Thank you brother!

I had a friend that was making soft plastics and I asked him for super floating worms and creatures. The colors I asked for did not come out clear at all. They were solid, much like BPS floating worms. I like yours much better.

[@DONT.BUY.MAJOR.CRAFT-BAD.RODS.]

Hello Chris. I am from Spain and i do my prototipes of baits with plastisol in silicon rtv. I have soft and extra soft plastisol but i want to do it floating. What can i add to my plastisol to do it floating? Thank you very much.

[@south_coast_tackle]

Thanks Chris! I'm curious, and maybe you've done it already, would a bait like the Angling AI Atomic Toad still float if all it had was a hook? I'm thinking a topwater toad through the grass would be awesome rigged weightless. I have a couple of toad molds on the way and I'm considering picking up some floating plastisol from DeadOn.

Hi Chris. I am from South Africa and I have a small bait company as well. I import all my raw materials from the US. I really like the look of the Dead on plastisol and this will be my next order as I have run out of Do-it Essential series plastisol that I have been using. Thanks for the great videos that you do. P.S. I make a Netbait Little Spanky version that we use with a small shakey head to fish for the Bass on nests. The Dead on floating plastisol is exactly what I need to take the lure to the next level as the paddletail will now stand up on the nest. Cant wait. Keep up the good work.

[@mrmisterman999]

I caught my first bass ever on a floating zman green pumpkin

[@FRANKRICECOLD209]

it Would Have Been Nice To See The Floating Blend With No Weight Just a Hook Thanks For The Video

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

I'll feature that in a future video for sure

[@megarouge61]

Not being a bait maker i'm curious! If you made a laminate... say a swim bait with the top half non sinking and the bottom sinking, could you achieve a neutral buoyancy bait that stayed upright just sitting there at pause?

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

we will find out!

[@megarouge61]

@@WorldsWorstFishing awesome, can't wait!

[@SSGMcQueen]

could you do the nose of the worm in regular with salt and the rest in floating and then throw weightless and see how that runs in the water. that would be cool to see

[@comfortablynumb9342]

What happens if you mix the 2 kinds of plastic? I'm thinking about sinking plastic in front of a worm and floating in back so they dive and stand up without a weight.

[@edmartin76]

Great video. I use dead on and don’t have a problem. I plan to get the new plastic but of right now I have a mold being made that cost $$$$.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

those pesky molds...always costing the big bucks haha...some of my custom CNC injection designs cost $1,000 to bring to life.

[@edmartin76]

These is the old mr. twister daddy craw mold I’m having made. I called mr. twister up and asked them if they still had the mold I could buy and they said they don’t have that mold and haven’t made it since the 80s. I very few left and my dad swears by them. So I found a guy north of Jackson that said he could make them. I’ll send you a pic on messenger.

[@garybowers9605]

I bet that floating will be great for frog baits!

[@ryanlamprecht9812]

Who makes the glitter you use?

[@Subarubruce]

May be asking this question prematurely as I'm only half way thru the video. Is it still manageable at low temps like the black bucket? And does it heat without scorching as high as the black bucket? Really appreciate your videos

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

I would say yes and yes.. I have not used it as much as the black bucket.. but it has still proven itself very user friendly.

[@ohio_tuner_garage]

How is the bubbling in the plastic? I keep reading reviews that the new formula from Dead On have tons of microbubbles when heating through a microwave.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

My experience was virtually bubble-less...a lot of it depends on your conditions...doesnt take long for moisture to get in your buckets and color containers.

[@stevenmullens3468]

How do you make them kind of plastic liquids

[@vire559]

Floating craw will be a good bait with smaller hooks on muddy bottom. For worm i prefer salted, more natural presentation on steady retrieve

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

So you prefer the more sinking action in your worms? I have never noticed a difference in catch rates between a salted and unsalted worm for me personally...a few buddies wont fish a worm without salt, some dont care. Its an ongoing debate for sure.

[@vire559]

@@WorldsWorstFishing It's the presentation I need to fish inshore and also easier to cast but for craw I prefer float type for muddy bottom still water.

[@jarrettwiles3177]

What if you split shot the two different types of plastisol? Would it suspend?

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

not sure but i will find out haha

[@LowBudgetBassin]

Great idea, I could see this having an excellent effect on some of the bigger swimbaits. You could make your own huddleston, no need for the foam.🤷‍♂️

[@nathanpape9026]

Remember the Stanley “high floating” ribbit? They stopped production a while back. This would replicate that perfectly!

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

yeah perhaps...i used to throw the ribbits back in high school.

[@camronforney1]

i would love to see these compared to a plastic with salt, either a different manufacturer or the floating dead on with salt to see how different the sink rate is between the three. Maybe a quick update video?

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

if I get time...

[@Jokesonyou1776]

I just bought a gallon of the white label and I can't even get a hook to stay in without ripping the plastic in half. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or not

[@UnitedViral]

Hey could you please weight the floating and sinking version of the lures and let us know how much each weigh. Obviously the floating is less dense but I would like to know by how much.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

I dont have a gram scale or anything that can measure that accurately,

[@UnitedViral]

@@WorldsWorstFishing Awe man..

[@Ronaldwhitehead-hu1rv]

how dose it float after it is rigged with the hook

[@darrellhanks8087]

Is those bits molds

[@kennycantin3872]

I'd like to see how the floating plastic works out for a frog, as in will it still be buoyant enough to stay afloat with a hook in it when you stop it on the surface? There are definitely some opportunities to get creative using the floating and sinking versions for various applications.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

Not sure it would float a frog rigged on a hook by itself... probably need the floating additives for that.

[@kennycantin3872]

I have some of the Elaztech frogs from Z-man and that particular material does float at rest (whether or not they have an additive helping it?) and that can be a game changer where you can stop a frog over openings in the grass, or just in a case where you missed a fish that just struck. Even if the Dead On is buoyant enough for momentary pauses that could be very effective. I do think that using the floating version can be really good for Carolina rigging applications. Something I really do not fish often enough. BTW, thanks for another great video. I'm not pouring my own baits yet, but I have learned a bunch from watching your channel and always look forward to new videos from you.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

@@kennycantin3872 yeah the elaztech material is not a Plastisol made from PVC..it's a different compound all together which float very well. And yes even a short pause that remains bouyant would be great.

[@kennycantin3872]

@@WorldsWorstFishing right, and I agree with your comment from the live video a few nights ago, the elaztech is durable but definitely more difficult to rig. Especially if you're using a hook that has a screw lock. I would be interested in seeing how you could use the floating and sinking plastisol in different combinations with your core shot mold to vary sink rates of the stick baits.

[@northfloridafishing4272]

Chris another great informative video man. I was wondering do you know where we could pick up some Stirring Rods cause I need to pick some up.

I think lurecraft has those and other tools for plastics.

[@pbfishin4685]

I wonder what would happen if you did a laminate with floating and sinking plastic?

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

we will find out!

[@LimitedGunnerGM]

Totally new to this, but couldn’t you add an additive that was buoyant to the sinking plastic? Like styrofoam pellets or similar that may be colored?

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

they do make floating addtitives, but it makes to bait weaker and messed with the color.

[@LimitedGunnerGM]

[@dwighthuth1171]

Bass are more likely to hit the blue crawl due to the natural display of the claws being in a defensive position when a Bass is looking at it. A craw will kick up dirt and sand on the bottom as a defensive measure against an attacking fish Keeping the claws above the dirt cloud plane will keep the fish interested, even after the defensive cloud has been stirred up.

[@johndoe-pb4mv]

the MF float isnt really floating. It floats by itself. but when you put on a hook, it sinks, just has a slower sink rate. Letting them sit at bottom, it lays flat like others..
