The plastic molding process can replicate just about any food source that swims, crawls or flies.
a heavily weighted 10-inch jigging swim bait for cod in 220 feet of water. That range defines the meaning of versatility. Hard baits, too, are designed with built-in intelligence. The way in which a plug moves to displace water affects how that plug transmits sound waves to a fish’s lateral
line. The realistic
Soft plastic baits run the gamut from fish fry sizes of 1 inch to eel sizes of 14 inches. Plastic baits take the form of swim baits, jerk baits, stick baits, pad- dle tails and tubes, including but not limited to: grubs, minnows, rain bait, shad, belly strips, trailers, shrimp, crawfish, lobsters, worms, flatfish, frogs, lizards sand eels, and any assort- ment of aquatic and airborne creatures
that fish feed on. The plastic molding process can
replicate just about any food source that swims, crawls or flies. With rigging variations and the application of vari- able weight, plastic baits can be effec- tively fished from top to bottom in the water column. One can throw a weed- less, weightless creature imitation into the lily pads for largemouth bass or use
swimming action of the bait comes as a result of the proper relationship be- tween shape and length, and the lure’s opposing force against water. To achieve this, lure designers must close- ly study how fish and bait move. Another critical element in lure design is that shape and balance must work in concert. The turbulence created by that balance of dimensions influences water pressure and causes the bait to move one way and then the other.
