A soft plastic moves like living flesh because, like flesh, it’s part spring and part fluid at the same time. Soft plastic lure action is what makes a bait look alive in the water. You can nail the color. You can match the shape to the forage perfectly. And a fish will still swim up,…
Soft plastic sink rate is controlled by material density, not shape. Salt loading changes density, which changes the gravity-buoyancy-drag balance. Includes density comparison table, measured fall rate data, and FAQ.
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.
