The
term "soft baits" applies to any flexible lure that is
made primarily of a soft material such as plastic, rubber, or pliable
organic compounds. Typically, the material is molded to immitate
natural food and combined with coloring, flavoring and/or reflective
agents. The finished product is usually rigged with a weighted line
to provide diving capabilities and artifical motion.
Typical rigging techniques include the Carolina rig, the Texas rig,
the dropshot rig, and wacky. |
