RiverSmallieGuy Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 I have seen lures made by a bunch of different companies that are essentially jointed, soft plastic swimmers. Would this be an easy bait to design, because I know that you may have to come up with some sort of internal harness to make them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same kind of joint, just lipless and maybe line through or jig hooked with an internal harness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also have models with an internal harness too But yes it’s been done and possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seakarp Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 Are you thinking about this sort of bait? Just one hook out of the top, as in a jig head or a weedless worm hook would be fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jigmeister Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 Do a search on "Castaic Catch 22" swimbaits . They were soft and had multiple joints with a flexible mesh material molded into the bait . Sounds like what you're asking about . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
