Overview
This soft bait is built for anglers who want a lively presentation with options for both steady retrieves and pause-and-drop fishing. Its paddle tail starts working at slow speeds, while the floating TPE construction keeps the tail active on the pause for added movement in the water. The mid-size profile is suited to targeting big perch, walleye, and active pike, and it can be rigged weightless, on a jig head, or on a Headbanger RockerHead. Sold as a 5-pack, it offers a detailed scale exterior and a durable, phthalate-free TPE build for repeated use around aggressive fish.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 4-3/4" profile is a mid-size option, so it may be less suited to anglers looking for a larger bait presentation.
- It is designed around a specific action profile, so anglers who prefer a more subtle or traditional retrieve may find it less versatile.
- The pack contains 5 baits, which is practical for use but not a high-count value pack.
- TPE care matters: it should not be stored with regular PVC plastics, and it needs a TPE-approved box with colors separated to avoid issues.
