Comeback idea

A water-action fishing lure line with tail designs that wiggle and flash for bass and trout anglers.

The write-up

HydroTail packs a whole fishing pitch into one word, and it's ready for a second act. Anglers who love lifelike motion in the water will connect with a lure whose tail does the work, especially as spring tackle shopping picks up. It's up for a fresh start, so here's how you'd relaunch it: a small range of soft-tail lures sold in tackle shops and online, ordered from hydrotailshop.com.
