As hard as it is to believe today, prior to the mid-1980s, there was no such thing as a 'soft stickbait' or 'soft jerkbait'. Back then, Lunker City Fishing Specialties occupied Herb Reed's garage, and supplied a small group of avid anglers with custom-built spinnerbaits (Thunder Blades), living rubber jigs (Jungle Jigs) and hand poured soft plastic lures in color patterns that at the time, were considered exotic. The soft-stickbait concept germinated when Reed connected a few common bass fishing observations.

Reed's observations led him to conclude that the most powerful factor in generating strikes was erratic, out-of-control action. On several occasions, he watched bass ignore — even charge right through — a school of baitfish to attack an injured or dying minnow. He theorized that the erratic, random motions of the distressed baitfish were a natural trigger for predators in the "survival of the fittest" way of the aquatic world.

Reed set out to design and construct a lure that could be fished on heavy tackle in heavy cover; that would capitalize on the predator's affinity for long, slender prey; offered the rigging versatility to be fish from top to bottom and everywhere in between and above all, one that captured the erratic, out-of-control behavior of a baitfish in trouble. The general shape came quickly. "Tuning" the details of the shape took several seasons. When it all came together, and Reed applied his artist's background (he was an acclaimed illustrator before Lunker City took over all his time) to creating color patterns that would mimic common baitfish better than anything that had ever been poured in soft vinyl, the results worked far beyond even his most optimistic expectations.
