    soft plastic's dont digest well but you will find that the newer baits(made from real food) on the market will break down! Biodegradable and natural formulas now let plastics break down in a short time.

    I am wondering if the lure may be from lucky strike cuz it look very thin but that may just be pic angle though!

  • I believe that they can digest it but I dont think that they would ever really swallow them everyone you catch has it hanging in it throat. I would say that they cough them back up.

    I do believe that that is a bass assasin and the the reason for it being so soft is because it is probably water logged.

    as quickly because it hits the water, with the reel in freespool, enable it sink. as quickly because it hits backside, enable the malicious program take a seat for some seconds in simple terms in case a bass observed it down. bounce the malicious program in very, very, v-e-r-y sluggish via using diffused strikes of the rod tip. you additionally can reel it in slowly, dragging it alongside the backside. colours for comfortable plastics relies upon on water readability... lighter colours for sparkling water, darker colours for muddy or stained water. Black is the glaring shade for night fishing. once you get bit, wait till you experience the burden of the fish beforehand you positioned the hook.
