Overview
Built for micro finesse presentations, this compact soft bait brings a downsized Goat profile to situations where subtlety matters. Its twin-action tail and cupped paddle design create thumping movement at a range of retrieve speeds and even on the fall, while the ribbed body adds water displacement and a more natural look. It can be rigged horizontally or vertically to imitate invertebrates and baitfish, making it a practical choice for casting or slow trolling when targeting crappie and other species. Each pack includes 8 baits.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- At 1.75", this is a micro finesse bait, so it’s intentionally limited in size and not meant for larger-profile presentations.
- The action is built around a twin-tail, cupped paddle design, which is effective for finesse use but may not suit anglers looking for a more subtle or streamlined profile.
- It is described as an exceptional crappie and multispecies producer, but the presentation is still specialized for casting or slow trolling rather than every style of retrieve.
- Each pack contains 8 baits, so frequent use may require keeping extras on hand.
