Hello, I'm new to this, so my question is, what plastic formula is the best for a beginner who wants to inject stick baits and carrot sticks? I fish alot of senkos and want that type of movement and softness from the ones I start injecting. Thank you and God Bless

I would recommend medium/regular. I use that for everything. If you want to imitate senko worms, you'll need some HD additive also, this will get you the sinking formula.

I use Medium 100%. Jason has stated that he designs his molds for medium.

The only time I add softener is when I need better flow into small appendages (legs, etc) and when I shoot it hot to improve flow..I get flashing.

I recommend the HD additive also for any wacky bait. You get the sink rate ...and a darn tough bait.. without any noticeable lack of action.

Shoot those 6" carrots with 2 tablespoons (use a measuring spoon to assure accuracy) per 4 oz you'll get the same sink rate as a salted Senko (according to Bill's calculations)...and a dozen or more fish per worm!
