Considerations & Trade-offs

- The lightweight conical bait keeper is intended to let soft plastics collapse around it, which can be a trade-off if you prefer a more rigid bait presentation.
- Its design focuses on keeping soft plastics firmly in place, but that also means bait fit and plastic style may matter more than with simpler heads.
