Overview
Built for anglers who want a trailer that adds movement without complicating the setup, this soft plastic bait is shaped to suggest a fleeing baitfish profile. Its ribbed body and pintail design are intended to create an erratic, slithering action that works well on bladed jigs, scrounger heads, or when fished weightless. It also serves as a soft jerkbait or finesse trailer when a subtle but active presentation is needed. The custom color options give it a polished look, while the design stays focused on triggering strikes rather than adding bulk.

Pros

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed around a ribbed body and pintail profile, so the action is more specialized than a straight-tail or bulkier trailer.
- Best suited to presentations that call for a baitfish look and erratic movement; it may not be the most versatile choice for every trailer application.
- The soft-plastic pour is intended to maximize movement, which can come with a less rigid feel than firmer plastics.
- Color options are limited to Missile's custom patterns, so matching local forage or water conditions depends on the available pours.
