Is a VIB a moulded lure or an assembled one?
Short answer
Assembled. The body may be moulded or cast, but the rattle chamber, the line tie and the hooks are added, and each of those is a separate line in a quotation.
In detail
That is why two VIBs that look identical in a photograph can be different products: one has a rattle and a transferable ballast, the other does not.
