Licorice sticks.



http://www.caneycreekmolds.net/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=1632

 1 cup plastic. 2tbs HD additive. 1/4 tsp Red Shad. .040 black glitter to taste. The pic doesn't do 'em justice. That red really pops in the sunshine.

I'd say they look pretty darned nice.

I like the color. Because I'm new at this and don't understand all of it. Why did you add the HD to the mix ? What's the advantage of it ?

He added the High Density Sinking Additive instead of using salt to get the baits to sink. One advantage I've heard of is that the baits become more durable unlike when salt is added. I'm sure someone else will also chime in here also.

 Correct. I added the HD to get them to sink. Salt is a thing of the past for me. Hd is superior to salt in every way except for adding flavor, and I have Kick'n Bass for that. ----Tim.

 Got Ya. Not use to the terms yet. I went downstairs and looked and it even says that on the lid. Been playing with that a little. Size of hook and type of line all weighs into the rate it sinks. My test tank ( 5 gallon bucket of water ) has made my wife wonder what has been going on down there.
