New Hudd bluegill (light bluegill ROF5).. about 4" head to tail.

The tail is fairly lively and flexible.. the bottom fin also.

Its a slender profile (compared to a Hudd Trout) and so most of the material is in the mid-body section and it takes some force to collapse the lure to expose the hook there.  In the area above the eye the air pocket collapses well.

In my Hudd Shad the body exposes enough to be able to expose the hook well.  Less so in this profile.. I am really interested in seeing if this will affect hookups.

The finish is great though unlike the other Hudd lures I've had, this one more exudes a chemical smell.

Also one side is darker than the other.. a finishing detail albeit a minor detail to me I dont much care about.. in fact it gives me two different looks.

 

I think this lure is built to catch fish in clearwater.. cant wait to try it out.

It will catch fish in any color water. You don't think bass eat gills in stained/muddy water?

Im sure it will as well as it displaces but I have lures which arent lookers and make lotsa commotions and get bit more in muddy than something more subtle than this..

shut the front door 

Looks pretty good.

So what's the scoop on this thing? Have you tried it? How did it swim? Hook up ratio?

My rof 12 runs crooked

My rof5 runs fine

A moderate retrieve looks most realistic. Tail doesn't move much at crawling speed

Thanks. I planned on getting one. Might wait till they fix the kinks.

I will try mine next time I got up to mississippi and have the time.
