Just wouldn't make that popping noise, hits and follows fell off a cliff.  |
More importantly, bass usually take a plug from below and in front. They lack chopping teeth so they prefer to inhale their prey head first. The tail hook usually only gets the fish that miss the plug, or you. Without a belly hook (unless the plug is quite small) you will miss many bass.
