Description

The unique rat tail shape can be effectively fished around shallow thick cover as well as open water. The cone shape tail creates an erratic curve ball style kicking motion that imitates an escaping/ wounded bait fish; this combined with the quick darting motion, elicits aggressive reaction style strikes from predators. NOTE: Unscented Pack Size: 8 baits per package

Field Notes

This soft jerk bait is designed for shallow thick cover and open water when fish are reacting to a wounded baitfish profile. Work it with quick darts and pauses to trigger strikes, or fish it more steadily around cover where the tail’s kicking motion can draw attention.

Pros

  • Erratic darting action imitates fleeing baitfish
  • Versatile in both cover and open water
  • Unscented soft bait can be paired with your preferred attractant

Cons

  • No scent may reduce effectiveness in some situations
  • Soft body can be torn by aggressive fish or repeated catches
