Tomic Tubby Plug - 028uvbii

First image shows colour, second shows shape.

The Tubby is fatter in relation to a Classic. A Tubby is made by cutting out an inch of the middle of a Classic. So, the Tubby 6″ will have the same head and tail as the Classic 7″, but it will be shorter, and therefore, “tubbier”.

The Tubby comes in 3″, 4″, 5″, and 6″.

Plug bodies are made of extremely strong and light weight plastic. 

The lure bodies are assembled to precise specifications then air brush artists finish each lure by hand with durable lacquers.

The advantage of using plastic for plugs is that they cannot become waterlogged like their wood predecessors. They will continue to work even with extensive use (and teeth marks).

The proper action of all Tomic lures is side to side, not rolling over, therefore a swivel is not absolutely necessary in line so you may tie your main line to the lure. A swivel doesn’t hurt though – and a bit of weed on the lure may make it roll over and cause a big tangled mess if there’s no swivel. Our preference is to use a leader of fluorocarbon line about 6 feet long, a swivel, a bead and then the main line. if you’re one of those pin pullers though (see the discussion on pin pulling) a plug will only float up if it breaks off in the leader area, if the mainline breaks the plug will be stuck between the fish and the swivel.
