Ive fished these Bay Rat Lures both shallow and deep and can say they work at every level
We carry a full line of epoxy topcoats, hooks, paint, etc here: Lure Hardware Bucktail stubs can also be found here too for the rear of these, less chance of a bloofish with livelier action
The TRD FattyZ has a bulbous tail roughly halfway up the body that hinges in the middle giving it more action than the Finesse TRD while still presenting a similar simple profile that fish cant resist
When the entire 350-page story is done, we may eventually do a complete hardcover, but for now, these big issues are the book
The PVC particles often settle at the bottom, and if they aren't fully suspended, your lures will be sticky or won't cure properly
