I've been messing around with soft plastics recently as everyone knows and I decided to dip some lures in hot liquid plastic to thicken them. One lure design it seems to have improved is the curl tail.

Another is the straight tail:

It seems the bulkier lure gets more strikes than the original size. Now I have much more confidence in curl tails than before. 71 fish yesterday under a bright sun was convincing enough.
