MichaelJ7 Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 I just ordered my first bottle of jj's magic and I've done a lot of reading and know all about the horror stories of it dripping and staining and stinking. But I keep reading it melts certain baits? Anyone have any experience with this actually happening? I bought the clear just because I wanted the scent only for dipping jigs and plastics in Quote
Jassch82 Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 I've heard the strike king Elaztech worms dissolve. Quote
Mccallister25 Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 I bought a jar of the clear a few months back, and I feel that it sometimes makes the fish hold on to the bait a tad bit longer. I fish from the bank, so I dont have to worry about it spilling on a boat. Its def. potent, and I could see it being a problem if spilling a decent amount. I dont see a drop here and there hurting anything. It only melts elaz tech baits to my knowledge though. Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted July 4, 2014 Super User Posted July 4, 2014 I've heard the strike king Elaztech worms dissolve. Yup this is the only baits it'll dissolve I think Quote
joeeagles36 Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 never happened to me until I dipped a stretchy elaztech worm. should be fine with anything else. Quote
Super User ChrisD46 Posted July 5, 2014 Super User Posted July 5, 2014 Be careful with the Z-Man soft plastics too as they are close to the Strike King elaztech worms I believe . If using the clear on normal soft plastics (like Zoom) - use a QTip and just dab around the head of the worm . For the JJ's chartreause - I just apply to the last 1/8 inch or so of the worms tail . 1 Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted July 6, 2014 Global Moderator Posted July 6, 2014 Do you guys ever dip your jigs? Skirt, trailer and all? Yes, dunk the entire thing in the clear JJ's. Just don't let it get too hot or it will leak. Quote
flyingmonkie Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 Yup this is the only baits it'll dissolve I think I've heard the strike king Elaztech worms dissolve. If these are the "Zero" worms with Greg Hackney on the package, then YES! This is my go-to senko. Dipped one in JJ's this spring and it dissolved almost immediately… should have known though, they are very vulnerable. Quote
