designed so a very small dog can wag a very large tail. </B></DIV> <DIV class=s1 style='text-align: left;'> <B> </B></DIV> <DIV class=s1 style='text-align: left;'> <B>Conventional jointed lures are most commonly nothing more than a stick bait lure body that has been cut in half, and joined together with a heng device connecting the two halves. This makes a lure that seems to have more of a swimming action, or an animal propelling itself forward with tail movement. However; This kind of jointed lure still depends on straight forward retrieve to activate it’s swimming behavior. </B></DIV> <DIV class=s1 style='text-align: left;'> <B> </B></DIV> <DIV class=s1 style='text-align: left;'> <B>The TFI, Lipless Crankbait is designed to be a “swimming motor”; with or without a jointed trailer.

Sounds hard to believe; doesen’t it....... </B></DIV> <DIV class=s1 style='text-align: left;'> <B> </B></DIV> <DIV class=s1 style='text-align: left;'> <B>With the advent of soft plastic swim-tails such as the Gubb-tail, and crawdad (grapghic right); or a non-swimming, soft plastic, eel-tail; the components for the most life-like swimming animal are at hand. Just put the right colors together, and you have a live Waterdog (salamander), crawdad, or a baitfish replica that has the behavior of an animal propelling itself forward with tail force. </B></DIV> <DIV class=s1 style='text-align: left;'> <B> </B></DIV> <DIV class=s1 style='text-align: left;'> <B>Since crankbaits depend on retrieve (forward motion) to activate their swimming behavior; they are ineffective at fishing virtical structures that hold fish. </B></DIV> </TD></TR></TABLE></B></DIV> <DIV ALIGN=center class=s1> <TABLE style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto" WIDTH="450" BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="2" > <TR> <TD WIDTH=100% VALIGN=TOP > <DIV class=s1 style='text-align: left;'> <B>This particular swimming lure was designed with vertical fishing in mind. At the risk of starting a heated debate here; I am going to claim that the best bait for fishing vertical structure is a live waterdog. Why...? Because a live waterdog will always take off swinning for bottom at a slight forward angle. It will literally swim past the noses of fish laying under the cover of rock shelves. </B></DIV> <DIV class=s1 style='text-align: left;'> <B> </B></DIV> <DIV class=s1 style='text-align: left;'> <B>This fishing lure design recreates the look, and behavior of a live waterdog as colse as it gets.
