Met Capt Alan Hastbacka from W Chatham, Mass. He makes these soft plastic pieces similar to hogy's. But here's where they differ: theyre molded to have indentations or segments scooped on the sides. What this does is refract the light as it shines through it to project it different ways. So it's almost like having the shininess of a hologram or foil finish in a soft plastic bait.
I imagine it would be good for surface feeding bass in the daytime or full moon, the further down you go the less the light matters. It still looked like a decent idea that could catch fish. to the Capt for having thought of it. The baits are 9-12", priced from $8-10 per pack. The next show he'll be doing is RISSA in April.
