Who knew 'Chubb'y was the way to go!?

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.
