Fall rate is controlled by softness, salt, and density — not jig head weight. Why fall rate matters most in cold water, how each variable affects the fall, and why weight alone cannot fix a design problem.
Soft plastic fishing lures are built on plastisol — a PVC resin and plasticizer system. Covers formulation components, non-phthalate plasticizers, example formulation ranges, fusion process, and how each variable controls on-water performance.
You cannot maximize softness and durability at the same time. A complete breakdown of the plasticizer ratio trade-off, why fragile baits often catch more fish, and application-specific optimization for different lure categories.
Soft plastic fishing lures are engineered PVC plastisol systems — not rubber. A complete breakdown of how PVC resin, plasticizers, and additives determine flexibility, density, and action.
Lure action frequently triggers strikes before color does. A complete breakdown of when action matters more, when color becomes critical, how they work together, and the most common mistake anglers make.
