Direct answer. Length in millimetres, body weight and buoyancy, material, hook position and line-tie angle, hook model, size and wire gauge, keeper type, colour count, finish, whether a jig head is bundled, pack format, target market and price basis. The two fields buyers most often leave vague are the line-tie angle and the keeper, and those are the reason a batch comes back. Key facts. 1) Rapala states that the rise of forward-facing sonar has given the soft-plastic minnow rigged on a jig new life, and treats the method as a system of plastic, jig, rod and line rather than a lure choice. 2) Bass Angler Magazine lists mid-strolling swimbaits as its first forward-facing-sonar technique and notes that a 90-degree line tie lets the bait hover above the target, where 0-, 30- and 60-degree ties pull it forward and away. 3) Major League Fishing published the Damiki rig as a technique in its own right and later covered mid-strolling as the newest twist on it, which is where the two presentations in this record come from.
