Does the body material matter if the shape is the same?
Short answer
Yes, because density is what decides how the lure fishes. Zinc alloy and ABS bodies of the same silhouette sit at different depths on the same retrieve and fall at different rates.
In detail
It is a material decision that behaves like a design decision.
The numbers behind this answer
| Field | Why it decides the fishing | How it is stated |
|---|---|---|
| Body material | Zinc alloy and ABS are different densities, so the same silhouette fishes at different depths | Name the material, not the shape |
| Field | What it decides | What it changes in the order |
|---|---|---|
| Hook configuration | Treble count and size, or a single replacement | Quoted separately, so the same body carries two order prices |
