Hey not that it really means much but are you sure its a triple trout? They are not made from wood they are a resin body.

Nope they are soft plastic baits. I believe they are made out of some type of silicone? Here are some links maybe this will help. http://www.316lurecompany.com/baits/bluegill.html http://www.outdoorproshop.com/Osprey-Tournament-Talon-Top-Hook-Swimbait-6-7-i-p/Osprey-Top_Hook.htm Kind of hard to tell with out holding them

No one out there knows?

I was wondering if anyone knew what type of plastic 316 soft baits are made of. (I think ospreys use the same) It seems to be almost like a silicone? Thanks

Honestly I would almost always say action is more important however I think it depends on you are fishing it...for example if its a bait you plan on "dead sticking" then looks would prob be more important. I am just getting into swimbait fishing but from my understanding a lot of big fish can be caught this way.

check these out!

wasnt me however my dads old fishing buddy was fishing the grand river down town Grand Rapids Michigan and snagged a body...apparently it was someone that had jumped off one of the bridges a few days before. The strangest things I have caught was a bird fishing with topwater and a frog when I was a youngin fishing with a worm.
