As you may already know, French Fry sticks are flat on all sides and all sides have texture (bumps). Who woulda thought that such an unnatural shape would do well considering all the round grub bodies we've limited to for decades? Well, for some strange reason fish do VERY WELL with that shape attached to different action tails - some poured, some salvaged from old lures. Here are a few examples:
FF with Joker grub tail:

Note the Claw attached to different soft plastics:

Thin straight tail (from different mold grubs) - another winner!:

Same as the in the last post:
Color variety limited only by your imagination and preference - not the fish's.
Body segment length can be 3/4"-1" - not much smaller or larger.
