Overview
Built for finesse presentations, this compact swimbait is designed to imitate round goby and other bottom-dwelling forage in Great Lakes waters and similar fisheries. Its sculpted body, realistic detailing, and rounded paddle tail are intended for subtle movement whether it is swum or dragged along the bottom. The buoyant ElaZtech construction adds durability and keeps the tail positioned off the bottom at rest, which can help create a more natural look in feeding situations. Each pack includes 6 baits, making it a practical option for anglers who want a Ned rig-sized profile for targeted bass fishing.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed as a Ned rig sized swimbait, so it’s a finesse option rather than a bulkier profile for larger presentations.
- Its 2.4-inch size and bottom-dwelling forage profile make it more specialized for goby-style situations than for general-purpose use.
- The buoyant ElaZtech material is built for durability and a tail that floats off the bottom at rest, but that same soft, compressible feel may not suit anglers looking for a firmer plastic.
- Each pack contains 6 baits, so frequent use or heavy losses may require more frequent restocking.
