I like to say my name is Jim Frascella and my wife is Michele. I was looking for a plastic fishing worm that would float and not sink like most. But I was looking for a curly tail worm and I could not find any so we decided to try are luck and make some. Well after some try’s we came up with a 7” worm that would float on a drop shot rig, Caroline rig, and the well know Texas rig (tail floats up with the Texas rig).
We decided to offer these worms to all fishermen out there so we made a web site and a Facebook page. We have pictures and videos of the worms and it shows how they float.  I know you have to be a sponsor to post any new lures on any posts but at this time we are just starting out and not sure if we will sell any. So we like to you check are web site out and give use some feedback and you’re welcome to buy any also. We use PayPal on our site.
We hope you like are site.
Jim & Michele

Good luck! You will need something to make yourself unique from the rest, because all custom plastics float unless they are made to sink.

What type of respirator are you using with your micro balloons?

I dont know, that is why I asked you LOL

I have been wanting to try micro balloons for a while, but the safety is whats keeping me from it. If you get even a microscopic amount in your lungs it can cause severe lung infections and other breathing problems. That isnt worth it to me unless I’m wearing a mask that I’m sure will keep it out. That is why a couple of the bigger plastic suppliers will not sell it, they came out and said they dont want to put their customers at risk so they will not sell it.

That stuff sounds dangerous.  Kinda like asbestos.  A cartridge type respirator should be fit tested to determine your size and facial features.  They monitor the mask while you talk and move around.  You have to be clean shaven for the seal to work too.  Unless you use a positive pressure system be careful.  PSA from the Safety Squirrel.

I do have a good mask and allot of vent of air coming into my work shop outside. Well if anyone wants any floating plastics they know were to come i guess.

Air coming in is no good, you need air going out. 100cfs per square foot of hood over your workspace.
