Depends on which one I think will catch more fish....sluggos will catch lots of fish but don't last long......storm shad catch fish and last longer but it depends on the spot I am fishing.  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Harder or softer than what? Sluggos? Yums? Berkley? Storm?
I'm not so sure anything needs to be reinvented or revised with respect to the density/pliability of the bait. Action does not seem to be a major issue either, as its pretty apparent that the people who know how to work what's out there now are doing very well.
Indeed, to build in a defined action would probably be counter productive as the best baits act as a blank canvas, allowing the angler the highest degree of presention and control.
What people are looking for is:
1) A better deal on price for an equal product. Producing an equal product, that would prove to be the key factor. Claiming a lure or bait is better or equal is not enough. Sadly for the newcomer, established, successful companies often have it right.
2) More realistic imitating patterns
3) Better attracting patterns

one way to make it more durable without sacraficing action would be to add a length of dacron to the rubber in mold to reinforce it (i think tuff core does this). Just have to figure out a way to locate it such that it won't interfere with hook placement.
