King Bait Co. Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 What does the hollow part of the bait do anyways?? Is it some sorta secret magical spot? It has to do with the swimming action and to keep the swimbait horazintal ( bad spelling). That is what I was told. I have been using a solid one with a hook slot.

BassConvert Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 What does the hollow part of the bait do anyways?? Is it some sorta secret magical spot? The 'hollow part' serves two purposes: It creates a void in the center of the bait from just behind the head all the way through the paddle on the tail that allows the bait to be extremely buoyant and swim up-right; assuming the bait is rigged properly. Additionally, being that the bait is very soft and pliable, when a fish hits it, the pocket collapses easily making for a much higher percentage of successful hook-sets; assuming the bait is rigged properly. I've found that these baits are light-weight, buoyant, and life-like with phenomenal action; much more so than a solid bait (not to say they don't and won't catch fish, cause they do). The hollow part is, in fact, the secret magical spot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
