The tails sail when left connected or flap wildly when separated. The body is thinner where the hook comes out for easy hook sets but has a thicker head so the bait stays on the hook. The D Bomb plunges into the thickest cover or hangs on to your big jig for added appeal. The fine ribs on the body move a lot of water as the bait is presented, but also allow the bait to scrunch up and get out of the way of the hook so you land more bass. The body also thins out where the hook rests against the bait, further ensuring you stick a bass that has bitten.
