Mad ox tackle Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 As you see in the added pic this is a well known lure known as the Huddleston swim bait. My question is if you look closely under the rear treble hook there is a pocket of air. how does one go and add this into a soft plastic swimsuit is it injected with a needle or something inside of the mold??? I know they use this for when the bait sits on Botton the back end of the lure sits slightly upwards presenting a very very natural bait...

Jon_P Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 It's a manufacturing flaw, not an intentional addition. Ken doesn't chuck his plastic in a vacuum so you get little bubbles and whatnot. My best performing Hudd has a massive pocket of air that makes it stand at a sharp angle.

Mad ox tackle Posted December 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 I think it is supposed to be like that so it stands up like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think with a name like Huddleston, there would be no flaws. Either that or the air pocket worked and they said if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Mad ox tackle Posted December 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 I think this air is put intentionally to make the bait noise down when paused on the bottom other baits like the mat lures bluegill have this as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
