Huddleston Deluxe 68 Weedless ROF 5

Description

The action of the 68 Special Weedless is very subtle but the pressure waves put off by the tail of the bait is dynamic. It’s not a side-to-side wobble like paddle tails produce, but more of a swimming motion like a shad or other baitfish meandering through the water. A slow wind and intermittent twitches make this swimbait dart and kick-out with a directional change before returning to its natural swimming action. Most of the bites are right after the bait regains its swimming action.

Some anglers still believe that 6 to 8-inch swimbaits are too large for their fish and because they don’t get as many bites on them, they feel that northern fish won’t bite them as well.

“That can’t be further from the truth,” said famous swimbait builder Ken Huddleston. “I have fished in Illinois, Wisconsin and numerous other northern states and have seen that swimbaits used as they were designed can make a huge difference not only in more fish, but bigger fish as well.”For the last few months, I have been testing a variety of baits based on situations and recently started toying with the Huddleston Deluxe 68 Special Weedless. It’s a 6-inch swimbait but utilizes the popular tail from the 8-inch Hudd.
