Overview
Built as a trailer for bladed jigs, this soft-plastic bait is designed to suggest a fleeing baitfish and add lively movement to your presentation. Its ribbed body and pintail shape are intended to create a slithering, side-to-side action that can also be worked weightless like a soft plastic jerkbait. The 5.5-inch profile and 6-pack format make it a practical option for anglers looking to match a baitfish look in a range of setups. It is a focused presentation bait for bass fishing, with the trade-off that its action-driven design is more specialized than a do-everything soft plastic.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The softer plastic construction may mean the bait needs a more careful approach when rigging and fishing than firmer trailers.
- Its 5.5" size and baitfish profile are geared toward a specific presentation, so it may not be the right fit for every jig or retrieve style.
- The action described here is most relevant when the lure is worked weightless or as a bladed jig trailer; it may be less versatile outside those uses.
- Color selection is limited to the available Missile color options, so matching local forage or water conditions depends on what’s offered in this line.
