Abstract: A fishing lure component and system is provided for soft baits which is highly strain resistant and tear resistant in the major stress longitudinally while placid in the vertical axis. The component employs a textile comprised of synthetic or natural fibers of dimension and configuration to dissipate penetration damage from hooking, or fish biting over the adjacent fibers providing protection of stresses up to 100 times that of soft bait lures. Component allows for the forming and movement in use to replicate living bait creatures. System includes features for hook installation, 3 dimensional color appearance thru polymer, infinite variation coloration, over-molding, and coating.
