The body of the Western Deepcup Beaver is made out of a high density material with salt, while its cup tail is formed out of a pliable, non-salt material. The high density plastic used in the body keeps the hook secure when rigged, while the soft material in the cup creates a lifelike, kicking action unique to the Western Deepcup Beaver. A subtle lift of the rod tip or the presence of a light current causes the tail to swing and churn in the water.
Because the cup tail material is less dense than the body, the paddle tail will slowly fall when the bait is paused on the bottom. The ultra thin cup tail moves naturally in the water and helps get more bites. With a weightless set-up, when the bait is rigged backwards (from tail to head), the dense body generates a back sliding action that allows the bait to slip into cover away from the angler – triggering more bites from big fish hiding in cover.
