Twitch Bait...

Something a little different.....twitch it like a dead herring and hope for a slam. Used one of Aquaman's blow-outs from PlugFest

Need to add a little more weight to the tail then hopefully.....WHAM!!!

i like how the front treble comes off the side....

i always thought if you could get a plug
to look like a soon to die baitfish

it would produce strikes automatically...

nicely done TDF

idea. We do something similar for freshwater. Straight rather than jointed, add a prop to the tail. Weigh them so they'll sit with the nose barely out of the water. Twitch, pause, twitch, BOOM For the freshwater ones, they work best floating down a river or other moving water or thrown tight to structure. Be interested to hear how they work in the surf.

Man, I can see a real blow-up on that plug!! Great idea!
