The Headbanger BangerRibs V2 is made of extremely elastic, durable, floating, phthalate-free TPE plastics. Its curly paddle tail creates movement in the main body section — it swims like an injured prey fish. Why anglers fish the BangerRibs V2 Ribbed body creates maximum vibration for its compact size, even at the slowest retrieves Hollow ribcage collapses on the strike — excellent hookups regardless of hook type Floating TPE — the tail rises when paused, like a baitfish feeding on the bottom Two baits in one — swimbait or worm/grub, from the bottom through the whole water column Ideal cold-water finesse bait — deadly for perch and walleye on vertical and drop-shot presentations When and how to fish it It's specifically designed for the RockerHead , which produces the best swimming action, but works on standard jig heads too. Slow retrieves, vertical jigging, and drop shots are the money presentations — the floating tail keeps triggering fish on every pause. TPE care: Don't mix TPE lures with regular PVC plastics. Use a TPE-approved box, keep colors separated, and avoid strong heat.
