For general inshore soft-bait fishing, the shrimp tails and jigheads are the most directly useful choices here. The 3in Shrimp Tail and 4in Shrimp Tail are built for a natural shrimp presentation in strong current, and the matching jigheads help keep them in place around flats, structure, and tidal seams. The 3in Shrimp Jighead and 4in Shrimp Jighead are especially good when you need a bait to hold bottom or stay controlled in moving water.
If you’re targeting bigger inshore fish or fishing around bait schools and current edges, Blue Water Candy Lures Casting Creeper is a solid casting option with an 8" swirl tail and skirt.
Switch to a different presentation if fish are keyed on live bait, if you need a more specific baitfish profile, or if you’re fishing very shallow water where a lighter, subtler soft bait works better. If you want to add visibility to live bait instead of throwing plastics, the Pautzke Fire Dye options are the better route.
