Overview
Built for anglers who want a minnow-style soft bait with a pronounced rolling action, this 7-inch option is designed to move with a steady, fleeing look on a straight retrieve. The hinged tail section and shoulder flanges work together to slow the bait and keep its motion controlled, while the laminated top and bottom sections with independent weighting are intended to produce the desired rate of roll. It is a practical choice for situations where a consistent swimming presentation matters, and the Tennessee Shad color offers a familiar baitfish profile. Each pack includes four baits.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The hinged tail section is designed to create rolling action even on a straight retrieve, so it is less of a subtle, dead-still presentation bait.
- The shoulder flanges are intended to slow the bait down, which may not suit anglers looking for a faster-moving minnow profile.
- At 7 inches, this is a larger soft bait that may be better matched to bigger presentations than ultra-finesse applications.
- Pack size is 4, so the quantity is limited compared with multi-pack soft bait options.
