This helps to get the bait to run a certain way, but the hookup percentage goes down when fish are swiping at a fast-moving bait. That was considered when Murphy and the team at ima designed this lure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e“Part of what we required was for this to have a hook at the very back of the bait. With baits like this, the bass often miss it and having the hook there helps land more of the fish that swipe at it,” says Murphy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:

style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eAccording to Murphy, the floating version works well when fished as a wake bait. “With mono, the bait will float very well and you can retrieve it with your rod tip up and get a great action on the surface,” he says.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe bait also has a unique look on the surface. “If you get into a rhythm with your retrieve,

sinking version when bass are feeding on spawning shad and also when fishing along docks. “We built the bait to fall horizontal, so you can cast next to a dock and let it fall and it has a great quivering action as it is falling, almost like a soft plastic stick bait,” he says.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg

comeup as it corrects itself. You can also walk it like a soft-plastic jerkbait with a quick retrieve; the back hook will not get hooked on your line, and that was by design,” says the South Carolina pro.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"heading.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"2b8eacda\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2b8eacda elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"\u003eRecommended Line and Gear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-id=\"466c0344\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-466c0344 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eBeing a bulky bait, heavy tackle is a must.
