Overview
Built for bass anglers who want a trailer that adds motion without complicating the setup, this 3.5-inch bait is shaped to suggest a fleeing baitfish and draw reaction strikes. The pintail profile and ribbed body create a slithering, side-to-side action that works well when fished weightless or matched with a vibrating jig or scrounger head. Its softer plastic construction gives it a more natural feel in the water, while the Bombshell color option adds another presentation choice. This is a practical option when you want a compact trailer that can cover a range of moving-bait applications without overloading the rig.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed as a bladed jig trailer, so it is more specialized than a general-purpose soft bait and may be less versatile outside that presentation.
- The softer plastic can help the bait move naturally, but it may also mean the bait is not as durable as firmer plastics under repeated use.
- Its 3.5" size is a good match for bass presentations, but it may be a less ideal choice when a larger or smaller profile is needed.
- The bait is offered in Missile's legendary colors, so color selection is tied to the available options rather than a broad range of unspecified patterns.
