Striped Bass

Slender hardbaits that imitate swimming baitfish on a steady retrieve and dart on short twitches.

Multi-jointed bodies swim with an articulated baitfish action; soft paddletails and glide baits have separate entries.

A cupped mouth pushes water to produce surface disturbance, unlike a frog or wire-frame buzzbait.

Slim floating hardbaits worked with short twitches and slight slack to walk side to side.

Solid metal lures for casting or vertical jigging; shape and weight distribution affect action and fall.

Paddle or curly tails move during retrieve and can be used on jigheads, offset hooks or as trailers.

Imitations tied from feathers, hair or synthetics; dry flies, nymphs and streamers require distinct presentations.
