This soft plastic bait looks incredibly natural and life-like in the water. It can be fished several ways like dropshotting or split shotting, but it is even deadlier fished as a soft jerk bait. To properly fish this bait I recommend using a #4 mosquito hook with a small loop knot tied to it for maximum movement, then nose hook the bait and use no heavier than 6lb line and no weight. Talk about finesse! Try this when nothing else seems to work.
