Idk exactly what it is with the TRD that makes it so perfect but I think it’s the right combination of profile and material with the right amount of salt to make it the right buoyancy. It works for just about everything finesse. Dropshot,Ned rig,splitshot/mojo rig,Neko rig and everything in between. Also the colors are great and plenty to choose from. Also these are incredibly durable. You pretty much have to break one off for it to be out of commission. I will say one thing about them is they also soak up scent really well especially pro cure and baitfuel works too. Overall these are the best finesse baits and the gold standard. Grab a pack and rig em however you please and you’ll get bit!
