Overview
Built for anglers who want a versatile soft bait that can be worked multiple ways, this 3.5-inch, 5/8 oz option is suited to flipping, casting, dragging, and presentations to fish located with forward-facing sonar. It is designed to be fished weightless while still casting well and falling quickly, giving it a different feel than more conventional soft plastics. With eight carefully chosen color options, it can be matched to a range of water clarity conditions. This is a practical choice for targeting larger fish when you want one bait that can cover several techniques without changing rigs.
