Buoyancy | Surface fishing, shallow water carp | Industry: Neutral buoyancy (sinks slowly, ASTM D732) Base: ▲ Floats 10+ mins (ASTM D732) Advanced: ▲▲ Floats 30+ mins (ASTM D732) | Base: Attracts surface-feeding carp; Advanced: Effective in deeper zones | Base: Less effective in fast currents; Advanced: Heavier, may snag on structures |
Material Durability | Heavy bite scenarios, prolonged use | Industry: Standard plastic (withstands 20 bites, ISO 1000) Base: ▲ Reinforced polymer (50+ bites) Advanced: ▲▲ Ultra-durable (100+ bites) | Base: Longer lifespan; Advanced: Survives aggressive bites | Base: Slightly heavier; Advanced: Higher material cost |
Scent Emission | Baiting in scent-sensitive waters | Industry: No scent retention Base: ▲ Mild scent (2 hours, ASTM E2114) Advanced: ▲▲ Strong scent (4 hours) | Base: Enhances attraction; Advanced: Extended scent duration | Base: Limited scent types; Advanced: Requires pre-soaking |
Visibility | Low-light conditions, murky water | Industry: Standard colors (reflect 50% light, ASTM D1925) Base: ▲ UV colors (80% reflection) Advanced: ▲▲ Fluorescent (95%) | Base: Better visibility in murk; Advanced: Stands out in dark waters | Base: Fades faster; Advanced: More fragile coating |
Hook Compatibility | Diverse setups, varied hook sizes | Industry: Limited to #8 hooks (ASTM F256) Base: ▲ #6-10 hooks Advanced: ▲▲ #4-12 hooks | Base: Versatile hook options; Advanced: Wide compatibility range | Base: Larger hooks reduce buoyancy; Advanced: Requires precise hooking |
Flexibility | Mimicking natural bait movements | Industry: Rigid plastic (ASTM D5420) Base: ▲ Soft, flexible (ASTM D638) Advanced: ▲▲ Extra soft, lifelike | Base: Mimics natural prey; Advanced: Enhanced realism and catch rate | Base: Less durable than rigid; Advanced: More prone to tearing |
