Field Notes

This is a Ned-rig-friendly soft swimbait designed to imitate gobies and other bottom forage. It works well swimming slowly or dragged along the bottom on a jighead, especially when fish are keyed on small baitfish near structure.

Pros

  • Realistic goby profile and detailing
  • Buoyant tail stands up at rest
  • Durable ElaZtech material
  • Versatile for swimming or bottom-dragging

Cons

  • Requires a compatible jighead
  • Best suited to finesse presentations rather than power fishing
