Overview
Built as a trailer that also works well on its own, this soft-plastic bait is shaped to suggest a fleeing baitfish with a natural ribbed body and pintail profile. It is intended for anglers who want an erratic, side-to-side darting action, especially when rigged weightless and worked like a soft plastic jerkbait. The softer plastic and Green Pumpkin color give it a subtle, versatile presentation for bass fishing situations where a more natural look is preferred. Sold in a 6-pack, it offers a straightforward option for keeping a proven trailer style ready for repeated use.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The softer plastic and pintail design are built for action, but that same profile may be less durable than firmer trailer options when used around repeated strikes or rough cover.
- This bait is presented as a trailer and as a weightless soft-plastic jerkbait style option, so it may require different rigging choices depending on the presentation you want.
- The Green Pumpkin color is a natural, versatile choice, but it is still a single-color pack, which limits on-the-water color flexibility compared with multi-color assortments.
- At 5.5 inches, the profile is substantial enough to draw attention, but it may not be the most subtle option when conditions call for a smaller baitfish imitation.
