Ed Buric Posted February 9, 2011 Report Posted February 9, 2011 What do you do with your old,used or torn up soft plastic baits?We now have a program to recycle them and also put them to a good use.Case plastics will take these baits,separate them by color,melt them down and cast them into new baits.These baits will then be donated to youth organizations and tournaments.This will be a win,win situation all around.Not only will we keep these plastics out of the environment but they will be put to good use. We will begin collecting used plastics at the Bronzeback Blowout,March 5th. After that you will be able to drop off your used or unwanted baits at any I S A meeting or outing throughout the year. Let's all get behind this program and send a ton of baits to be recycled. Quote
Steve S. Posted February 9, 2011 Report Posted February 9, 2011 I have a lot Ed! Glad to know it could be put to good use. Quote
Mike G Posted February 9, 2011 Report Posted February 9, 2011 Good idea! Though it is not as toxic as lead, plastisol can be melted down and recast just like lead soldiers or lead jigs. Quote
dansgonefishing Posted February 9, 2011 Report Posted February 9, 2011 How about defective plastic baits?? I have a bunch that don't seem to work:) Seriously though - I know the club uses a lot of plastics for various grab bags and raffle prizes but would there be any place that would use plastics that have fallen out of favor over the years. Maybe some high school fishing club or kids fishing event? Quote

Mike G Posted June 30, 2011 Report Posted June 30, 2011 Just curious Ed. I have been using a lot of 3X Cyberflex and Elaztech lures lately. I know they do not mix with plastisol stuff. Is there any way to recycle these? Quote
Ed Buric Posted June 30, 2011 Author Report Posted June 30, 2011 I am not aware of any way to recycle these,maybe someone else here would have some idea. Quote
