1100, Rago Raptor soft bait ?
Posted by Tm Customs, Mon Dec-12-05 10:28 PM
How does the plastic raptor swim? Similar to the hudd or more action? Also will there be any shad/hitch or bass colors? Anyone used one yet thoughts on it?
Thanks, Taylor

I havent seen the bait in person but my dad filmed Jerry's presentation at the bassathon for me so ive seen it swim on film. It seems like it has a faster tail kick than the huddleston. Seemed to be kind of a mix between the tail kicking action of the huddleston and the tail fluttering of a traditional style swimbait ( hope that makes sense). I dont think there was much action other than the tail, but im not positive.

I saw Jerry throwing it at the bass a thon and I thought it swam like his soft generic trout. It looked like it had a qiuck tail kick and a little body wobble to it.

The slow sinking has a quick, rolling tail action and a little body wobble while the fast sinkerhas the same tail movement but the body seems to stay very still. I also noticed that the baits don't necessarily run 100% true but they are easily correctable.

the hooks are easaly messd up when you fish it(the slow sink) and the top of the tail kicks more than the bottom so it looks more like the tail is twisting not going back and forth.
