Like most of you that have cast soft plastic lures, we don't usually pay attention to specific dimensions such as body thickness. If a lure catches fish, that's it! Last year I caught some fish with this body thickened paddle tail grub and forgot I even produced made it.


The body was made thicker by dipping the original hand-pour in hot plastic a few times. The idea came back to me a few weeks ago and I dipped a soft plastic lure named Mo Magic by the mold producer. This is the original shape:


This is the Chubby body version that immediately caught fish - the force of the strikes was amazing!:


So I figured, why stop there and chubify some other shapes - in this case, one similar to the real thing?!


Here are others that did dynamite on different lakes!!!


This one I call the Light Bulb and found the action is incredible: a fast back & forth waddle and darting with twitches of the rod tip. Kinda reminded me of an underwater Zara Spook.


The thicker body I assume is easier for fish to target but at the same time really seems to piss them off!

Good work. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks.

Today I used a downsized curl tail grub and it made a difference catching sunfish that were only pecking at the tail of the 3".
Too bad the wind was 20 mph most of the outing.
