Overview
Built for anglers who want one soft bait that can cover a lot of water and rigging styles, this 3.8-inch profile is suited to A-rigs, jigs, spinnerbaits, Texas rigs, and Carolina rigs. Its thicker body and paddle tail are designed to produce a swinging action that stands out whether it is retrieved slowly or worked at a faster pace. The bait is also made with dual-injection molding using two salted plastics, and it is impregnated with squid scent, though French Pearl does not include that scent.
