Black Friday Soft Plastic Fishing Bait Deals

The Roboworm 4 1/2" Straight Tail Worm is a West Coast finesse staple for anglers who want a soft, subtle worm with repeatable color and action. Roboworm's robotic production creates well-defined colors and distinctive combinations that echo the look of hand-poured finesse plastics, while the soft straight-tail body gives a sensitive, alluring action in the water.

When a fish bites, the Salt Release System releases salt from the worm. That gives the fish a reason to hold on longer and gives you more time to finish the hook set. Each package includes 10 worms.

Why This Worm Earned a Place in the Finesse Box

This is the kind of worm you reach for when fish are seeing plenty of tackle, boat traffic is high, or you need a compact profile that can be worked slowly. The 4 1/2-inch straight-tail shape stays understated, while the soft plastic and Salt Release System add life and bite appeal without turning the presentation bulky.

When a Straight Tail Solves the Problem

Some finesse days call for a worm that moves without a large paddle or aggressive appendage. The straight tail gives you a clean profile for subtle presentations, and the broad color lineup makes it easier to match the look you want instead of settling for one generic shade.

Built for Finesse Bass Fishing

• Drop-shot rigs when you want a compact worm above the weight
• Shaky-head presentations for a subtle bottom-oriented profile
• Split-shot rigs when you want the worm to glide naturally away from the weight
• Light Texas-rig applications when a straight-tail worm is the right profile
• Pressured bass situations and warmer months, when the original listing calls out this worm's effectiveness
• Large- and smallmouth bass finesse applications

The Right Pick If...

• You want a soft 4 1/2-inch worm for a subtle finesse presentation.
• You prefer consistent, well-defined colors and unusual hand-poured-style combinations.
• You want salt release to help fish hold the worm longer after the bite.
• You need a large color selection for changing light, forage, and water conditions.

What It Does Best, and When to Choose Something Else

The Straight Tail Worm is at its best when the presentation should look restrained and natural. It gives you a soft, sensitive body, a clean profile, and a wide range of colors. Choose a different soft bait when you specifically need a bulky profile, a strong swimming tail, or a more aggressive water displacement than a straight-tail worm is designed to provide.

How to Fish It

For a drop shot, rig the worm straight so it hangs naturally above the weight, then work it with small shakes and pauses. On a shaky head, keep the worm centered and drag or shake it along the bottom. A split shot lets the worm glide as you move the weight slowly, while a light Texas rig gives you a weedless-style option when cover is part of the presentation.

Keep the retrieve controlled. Short pulls, subtle shakes, and pauses let the soft plastic do the work. If a fish picks it up, the Salt Release System is designed to release salt during the bite and help encourage a longer hold.

Best Conditions

Start with this worm when fish pressure or boat traffic calls for a quieter presentation. The original listing also highlights it during warmer months. Match the rig and weight to the depth and cover, then let the color selection do the fine-tuning.

Tackle Express Tips

• Rig the worm straight. A centered body keeps the straight-tail profile working cleanly instead of spinning or tracking sideways.
• When fish are pressured, start with a small shake and a longer pause before changing colors or adding movement.
• Let the Salt Release System do its job. Once a fish picks up the worm, avoid ripping it away immediately and finish the hook set with control.

FAQ

How many worms come in a pack?
Each Roboworm 4 1/2-inch Straight Tail Worm package includes 10 worms.

What makes the Salt Release System useful?
The system releases salt when a fish bites, which is intended to encourage the fish to hold the worm longer and give you more time to complete the hook set.

What rigs work with this worm?
It is a versatile finesse worm for drop shot, shaky head, split shot, and light Texas-rig presentations. Match the rig to the depth, cover, and bottom presentation you want.

Complete the Setup

Build a shaky-head presentation with the Owner Ultrahead Shaky Head, or rig it for a drop shot with Gamakatsu Split Shot / Drop Shot Hooks. If you want a different action from the same brand, compare it with the Roboworm 4 1/2-inch Curly Tail Worms.

Choose the color family that fits the day, rig the worm straight, and let a restrained presentation turn a pressured fish into a bite.

When bass follow a bait without committing, a quieter presentation can be the better move. Roboworm 6" Straight Tail Worms pair a slender, soft-plastic profile with subtle movement for working a drop shot, shaking a jig head or slowly dragging a light Texas rig. The 6-inch size gives fish a longer target without the bulk of a thick-bodied worm.

Roboworm's computer-guided pouring process produces detailed, hand-poured-style color combinations. Its exclusive Salt Release System releases salt when a fish bites, designed to encourage fish to hold the bait longer. Made in the USA and packed 10 per bag, these worms are an easy staple for a finesse-bass box.

A Subtle Answer to Pressured Bass

Choose the straight tail when you want controlled movement rather than the continuous swimming action of a curled or paddled tail. Small rod movements let you work a specific rock, dock edge or depth zone without rushing past fish. It is a useful approach in clear water, around heavily fished structure and during busy, high-boat-traffic days.

The trade-off is a less aggressive presentation: this is a bait for slowing down and placing casts carefully, not the first choice for quickly covering water or creating a strong vibration signal in heavily stained conditions.

Where the 6-Inch Worm Fits

Best for: largemouth and smallmouth bass; drop-shot fishing along points and breaks; shaky-head presentations around rock; and light Texas, split-shot or Carolina rigs for working bottom contours. Fish it when bass are reluctant to chase, or whenever a slim worm profile suits the forage and fishing pressure.

For a smaller presentation, consider the Roboworm 4 1/2" Straight Tail Worms. When you want a longer profile, step up to the Roboworm 7" Straight Tail Worms.

Details That Make the Difference

• Soft, slender body: responds to restrained rod movements for a finesse presentation.
• Straight-tail profile: lets you control the amount of action with your retrieve.
• Computer-guided pours: create consistent, detailed color patterns.
• Salt Release System: releases salt on the bite and is designed to encourage a longer hold.
• Versatile rigging: suitable for drop shot, shaky head, Texas, Carolina, dart-head and split-shot presentations.
• Made in the USA: 10 worms per pack.

Models & Specs

Choose your preferred color from the selector. The shared specifications above keep color selection simple without repeating the same dimensions for every option.

Make Small Movements Count

Drop shot: nose-hook the worm for open-water presentations, or use an appropriate weedless rig around cover. Adjust the distance between hook and weight to keep the bait at the fish's level. Shake gently, then pause instead of constantly moving the rig.

Shaky head or dart head: rig the worm straight and use short shakes and pauses around rock, edges and bottom transitions. Pick enough weight to maintain contact without overpowering the presentation.

Texas, split-shot or Carolina rig: use a slow drag-and-pause retrieve. Match the hook and line to the cover, and choose a weedless presentation where exposed hooks would snag.

Color Choices for Changing Water

As a starting point, try natural green-pumpkin, shad or translucent tones in clear water. Morning Dawn and purple-toned options offer a different look when fish ignore your first choice. Darker colors can provide a stronger silhouette as light fades. Let water clarity, local forage and actual bites guide the final choice rather than treating any color as a guarantee.

Tackle Express Tips

• Check that the worm hangs straight before every cast. A kinked rig changes how it moves and can make a finesse presentation less convincing.
• Pause longer before adding more action. On a drop shot, keep the weight in place while making small movements with the bait.
• Change one variable at a time: color, leader spacing or retrieve pace. That makes it easier to identify what the fish respond to.

Questions Before Your Next Cast

How many worms come in a pack?
Each pack contains 10 six-inch Straight Tail Worms.

Are these only for drop-shot fishing?
No. Drop shot is a natural fit, but Roboworm also recommends shaky-head, Texas, Carolina, dart-head and split-shot applications.

Should I choose the 4 1/2-inch, 6-inch or 7-inch size?
Start with 6 inches for a slim, longer finesse presentation. Downsize to 4 1/2 inches when you want a smaller target, or choose 7 inches when you want more length without switching away from a straight-tail worm.

What does the Salt Release System do?
It releases salt when a fish bites. Roboworm designed the system to encourage fish to hold the worm longer, giving you more opportunity to detect the bite.

The Yamamoto 5" Senko is the big-bass version of the most legendary soft plastic bait ever made. Same salt-impregnated formula, same irresistible horizontal fall with seductive side-to-side action — in a 5-inch profile that attracts larger fish, produces more bulk in the water, and excels in heavier cover where the 4" can't match the presence needed to pull out quality bass. With 50 proven colors — the most comprehensive color selection in the Senko lineup — there's a 5" Senko for every condition, every forage, and every fishery. 10 per pack.

Main Use & Benefit

A 5-inch salt-impregnated stickbait with the legendary Senko horizontal fall and side-to-side action in a larger profile — designed to attract bigger bass, produce more bulk and presence in the water, and excel in heavier cover and situations where the 4" doesn't have enough profile to pull quality fish.

Problem It Solves

The 4" Senko is the most versatile size, but when you're specifically targeting big bass in heavier cover or when fish are keying on larger forage, you need more profile and more presence in the water. The 5" Senko delivers the same legendary action with a larger body that attracts quality fish and produces more bulk on the fall — the upgrade when you want to target the biggest bass in the area.

Advantages

• ✅ 5" larger profile — attracts bigger bass and produces more bulk and presence than the 4"
• ✅ Same legendary salt-impregnated formula — horizontal fall with seductive side-to-side action
• ✅ Works on any rig — wacky, Texas, Neko, drop shot, Carolina rig
• ✅ 50 proven color options — the most comprehensive color selection in the Senko lineup
• ✅ Proven worldwide — trusted by tournament pros and weekend anglers alike
• ✅ 10 per pack
• ⚠️ Larger profile — for finesse and clear water applications, consider the 4" or 3" Senko

When to Choose It

Reach for the 5" Senko when you're specifically targeting big bass and want a larger profile to attract quality fish, when bass are keying on larger forage, or when you're fishing heavier cover where a bigger bait gets more attention. It's the upgrade from the 4" when you want to target the largest fish in the area and are willing to sacrifice some bites for bigger ones.

Best Fishing Techniques

• Wacky Rig — hook through the center with a #2/0 or #3/0 wacky hook; use an O-ring to extend bait life; the 5" body produces a larger, more pronounced side-to-side wiggle on the fall that attracts big bass from a distance
• Weightless Texas Rig — rig on a 4/0–5/0 EWG hook; the larger body falls horizontally with a pronounced side-to-side action; deadly through sparse cover and open water when targeting quality fish
• Neko Rig — insert a 1/16–1/8 oz nail weight into the nose; hook through the center with a #1/0 wacky hook; the head-down fall and side-to-side action triggers strikes from big bass on hard bottom
• Drop Shot — nose-hook on a #1 or #1/0 hook, 12–24" above the weight; the larger 5" profile produces more action in the strike zone and attracts bigger fish than the 4"
• Carolina Rig — thread onto a 4/0–5/0 hook, 18–24" behind a 3/4–1 oz Carolina weight; drag slowly along the bottom for a large, natural presentation over deep structure

Best Conditions

• Year-round — the 5" Senko produces in any water temperature and clarity
• Heavier cover — docks, laydowns, grass edges where a larger profile gets more attention
• When bass are keying on larger forage (shad, bluegill, crawfish)
• Pre-spawn and spawn when big females are holding on structure
• Any depth — equally effective shallow on wacky rig and deep on drop shot and Carolina rig

Key Features

• 5" larger profile — attracts bigger bass and produces more bulk than the 4"

• Works on any rig — wacky, Texas, Neko, drop shot, Carolina rig
• 50 proven color options — the most comprehensive color selection in the Senko lineup

Tackle Express Tips

1. Use an O-ring for wacky rigging — The 5" Senko's soft formula tears quickly on a standard wacky hook. Slide an O-ring onto the center of the bait and hook through the O-ring — you'll get 3–5x more casts per bait. A #2/0 or #3/0 wacky hook is the right size for the 5" body. The larger hook gap is important — don't undersize the hook on the 5".
2. Green Pumpkin Black Flake is the all-time go-to, but explore the laminate colors — Green Pumpkin Black Flake (#297) is your starting point in clear to lightly stained water. The 5" lineup has an exceptional selection of laminate colors — Gooseberry Laminate (#963), Brown Purple Laminate (#921), and Smoke Pearl Blue Laminate (#927) are sleeper colors that produce big bites in clear water when solid colors get ignored. Midnight (#362) is a top pick for night fishing.
3. Upsize to the 5" when you want quality over quantity — The 5" Senko will get fewer bites than the 4" in most situations, but the bites it gets tend to be from larger fish. If you're fishing a tournament and need a big kicker fish, or if you're on a fishery with a lot of small fish and want to filter for quality, switch from the 4" to the 5" and slow your presentation down. Let it fall longer on a slack line before moving it.

FAQ

Q: What's the difference between the 5", 4", and 3" Senko?
A: All three use the same salt-impregnated formula and legendary side-to-side fall action. The 5" is the big-bass option — larger profile, more bulk, attracts quality fish in heavier cover. The 4" is the most versatile all-around size for most situations. The 3" is the finesse option for ultra-clear water, pressured fish, and smallmouth. Start with the 4" and upgrade to the 5" when you want to target the biggest fish in the area.

Q: What hook size works best for wacky rigging the 5" Senko?
A: A #2/0 or #3/0 wacky hook works best for the 5" body. Use an O-ring to extend bait life and keep the hook centered. For weightless Texas rig, a 4/0 or 5/0 EWG hook is the right size. For drop shot, a #1 or #1/0 drop shot hook works well.

Q: Why is so effective?
A: The Senko has caught fish from day one because of the heavy salt which makes it sink without a metal weight.  The subtle action as it falls is second to none and should be in every bass anglers arsenal.

Why Buy the Yamamoto 4" Senko?

If there's been one lure that changed bass fishing forever, it's the Yamamoto 4" Senko.

Rigged weightless, the Senko falls horizontally with a seductive side-to-side tail action that drives fish mad. It works on virtually every rig, in every condition, for every bass species — and it's become one of the most trusted baits in the world for a reason. 10 per pack, 21 proven colors.

Main Use & Benefit

A 4-inch salt-impregnated stickbait that falls horizontally with a seductive side-to-side action when rigged weightless — the most versatile soft plastic ever made, equally deadly on wacky rig, Texas rig, Neko rig, drop shot, and Ned rig across all bass species and conditions.

Problem It Solves

Most soft plastics require specific techniques or conditions to produce. The Yamamoto Senko is the opposite — its salt-impregnated body produces a natural, horizontal fall with side-to-side action at any retrieve speed, on any rig, in any water clarity. It's the bait you reach for when nothing else is working, and the one you never leave home without.

Advantages

• ✅ Salt-impregnated formula — horizontal fall with seductive side-to-side action that no other bait replicates
• ✅ The most versatile soft plastic ever made — wacky rig, Texas rig, Neko rig, drop shot, Ned rig, Carolina rig

When to Choose It

The 4" Senko is the right choice in virtually every situation — it's the most versatile size in the lineup, large enough to attract quality fish and compact enough for finesse presentations. Choose the 4" as your starting point in any condition and adjust to the 3" (finesse/clear water) or 5" (big bass/heavy cover) based on what the fish tell you.

Best Fishing Techniques

• Wacky Rig — hook through the center with a #1/0 or #2/0 wacky hook; use an O-ring to extend bait life; the horizontal fall with symmetrical side-to-side wiggle is the most iconic Senko presentation and one of the most effective bass techniques ever developed
• Weightless Texas Rig — rig on a 3/0–4/0 EWG hook; the salt-impregnated body falls horizontally with a side-to-side tail action; deadly through sparse cover and open water
• Neko Rig — insert a 1/32–1/16 oz nail weight into the nose; hook through the center with a #1 wacky hook; the head-down fall and side-to-side action triggers strikes from finicky fish
• Drop Shot — nose-hook on a #1 or #2 hook, 12–24" above the weight; the side-to-side action quivers naturally in the strike zone; excellent for FFS targeting suspended fish
• Ned Rig — thread onto a 1/16–3/32 oz Ned head; the Senko's action on the pause is irresistible on hard bottom
• Carolina Rig — thread onto a 3/0–4/0 hook, 18–24" behind a 1/2–3/4 oz Carolina weight; drag slowly along the bottom for a natural, swimming presentation

Best Conditions

• Works on any rig — wacky, Texas, Neko, drop shot, Ned, Carolina
• 21 proven color options — the most comprehensive color selection in the lineup
• 10 per pack

Tackle Express Tips

1. Use an O-ring for wacky rigging — The Senko's soft formula tears quickly on a standard wacky hook. Slide an O-ring onto the center of the bait and hook through the O-ring — you'll get 3–5x more casts per bait and the action is identical. A #1/0 or #2/0 wacky hook is the right size for the 4" body.
2. Green Pumpkin w/ Black Flake is the all-time go-to — Green Pumpkin w/ Black Flake (#297) is the most proven Senko color of all time — start here in clear to lightly stained water. Switch to Watermelon Small Gold Large Black Flake (#323) in clear water with a natural bottom, and use Black w/ Large Blue Flake (#021) in dark or muddy water for maximum silhouette visibility. Gooseberry Laminate (#963) is a sleeper color for clear water smallmouth.
3. Let it fall on a slack line — The Senko's magic happens on the fall — cast it out, let it sink on a completely slack line, and watch your line for any movement that indicates a strike. Most bites happen before the bait hits the bottom. Resist the urge to twitch or retrieve — the bait does all the work on its own.

FAQ

Q: What makes the Senko different from other stick baits?
A: The salt-impregnated formula is the key — it gives the Senko a unique density that produces a horizontal fall with a seductive side-to-side action that no other bait can replicate. Most stick baits fall nose-down or tail-down; the Senko falls horizontally, presenting the entire bait profile to the fish on the fall. That horizontal fall with side-to-side action is what makes it so irresistible to bass.

Q: What's the difference between the 3", 4", and 5" Senko?
A: The 4" is the most versatile all-around size — the right choice in most situations. The 3" is the finesse option for ultra-clear water, pressured fish, and smallmouth. The 5" is the big-bass option for largemouth in heavier cover and situations where a larger profile attracts quality fish. Start with the 4" and adjust based on conditions.

Q: How many come in a pack?
A: 10 per pack.

Why Buy the Yamamoto Shad Shape Swimmer?

The Yamamoto Shad Shape Swimmer is a finesse swimbait built for anglers who demand lifelike action at every retrieve speed. Its slim, ribbed body and dynamic paddle tail produce an ultra-natural swimming motion that triggers strikes from even the wariest bass — whether you're swimming it on a swimbait head, hovering it on a drop shot, or working it on a hover rig. Available in 3.2", 3.7", and 4.2" sizes across 17 proven colors. 8 per pack.

Main Use & Benefit

A slim-profile paddle tail finesse swimbait designed for natural swimming action on swimbait heads, drop shots, and hover rigs — effective for largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass in clear to lightly stained water across a wide range of depths and presentations.

Problem It Solves

Bulky swimbaits and standard soft plastics don't produce the subtle, lifelike swimming action that triggers finicky bass in clear water and pressured fisheries. The Shad Shape Swimmer's slim ribbed body and paddle tail create a natural baitfish action at any retrieve speed — slow enough to hover in place on a drop shot, fast enough to swim convincingly on a swimbait head.

Advantages

• ✅ Slim ribbed body + dynamic paddle tail — ultra-natural swimming action at any speed
• ✅ Three sizes (3.2", 3.7", 4.2") to match the hatch at any depth or forage size
• ✅ 17 color options — natural forage shades to high-vis reaction colors
• ✅ Versatile — swimbait head, drop shot, hover rig, underspin, and FFS presentations
• ✅ Yamamoto premium soft plastic formula — lifelike action, durable material
• ✅ 8 per pack — excellent value
• ⚠️ Finesse swimbait — not designed for power fishing or heavy cover applications

When to Choose It

Reach for the Shad Shape Swimmer when bass are keying on baitfish in open water, when finesse presentations outperform reaction baits, or when you need a swimbait that produces natural action at slow retrieve speeds. It's equally effective on forward-facing sonar, traditional drop shot, and hover rig setups in clear to lightly stained water.

Best Fishing Techniques

• Swimbait Head — thread onto a 1/8–3/8 oz swimbait head and swim at a slow, steady retrieve; the paddle tail kicks naturally at any speed
• Drop Shot — nose-hook on a #1 or #2 hook, 12–24" above the weight; swim or shake for a horizontal baitfish presentation on FFS or traditional setups
• Hover Rig / Neko Rig — nail weight in the nose for a head-down hover presentation; the paddle tail flutters naturally on the pause
• Underspin — thread onto a light underspin for added flash and vibration through open water and over structure
• Wacky Rig — hook through the body for a fluttering fall around docks and laydowns

Best Conditions

• Clear to lightly stained water where natural action is most visible
• Open water and mid-depth structure (10–30ft) on swimbait heads and drop shots
• Forward-facing sonar presentations targeting suspended and structure-oriented fish
• Post-frontal and slow-bite conditions when finesse is the only answer
• Spring and fall when bass are actively chasing baitfish schools

Water Type: Freshwater | Target Species: Bass

Tackle Express Tips

1. Size to the forage — Start with the 3.2" in clear water and when bass are keying on small shad. Move to the 3.7" as your all-around size, and use the 4.2" when bass are actively feeding on larger baitfish or you need more profile visibility on FFS.
2. Match the water clarity — Natural Shad, Sexy Shad, and Tennessee Shad are your best natural forage matches in clear water. Switch to Electric Shad, Sight Flash, or Stealth Chart Purple in stained water or low light for a reaction color.
3. Slow down on the swimbait head — The Shad Shape Swimmer's paddle tail produces its best action at a slow, steady retrieve. Resist the urge to speed up — a slow, deliberate swim just above the bottom or through the strike zone is where most bites happen.

FAQ

Q: What's the difference between the 3.2", 3.7", and 4.2" sizes?
A: The 3.2" is your finesse and clear-water option — best for pressured fish and when bass are keying on small shad. The 3.7" is the all-around size for most situations. The 4.2" is your big-water and active-feeding option when bass are chasing larger baitfish or you need more profile on FFS.

Q: What swimbait head weight works best with the Shad Shape Swimmer?
A: For the 3.2" and 3.7", 1/8 to 3/16 oz swimbait heads work well in shallow to mid-depth water. For the 4.2" or deeper presentations, 1/4 to 3/8 oz gives you better depth control and a more natural fall rate.

Q: Can I use the Shad Shape Swimmer on forward-facing sonar?
A: Absolutely — the slim profile and natural paddle tail action make it an excellent FFS bait. Rig it on a drop shot or swimbait head and watch how fish react to it on screen. The 3.2" is particularly effective for FFS presentations targeting suspended fish in clear water.

Purposefully built for bladed jigs, the Berkley Powerbait Power Stinger introduces a new honeycomb molding technology to Powerbait.

• Available in 4" and 5" sizes across 8 lifelike shad color patterns

Specifications

Engineered for precision and realism, the Jackall Driftfry is a 3, 4, and 5-inch soft jerkbait meticulously designed to imitate small baitfish in finesse applications. Developed in Japan with input from professional anglers, the Driftfry combines lifelike aesthetics with refined performance to give you the upper hand when fish are hesitant or highly pressured.

Key Features:

• Realistic Profile and Action:
  The Driftfry’s slim baitfish profile, detailed scale pattern, and 3D eyes mimic the look and movement of natural forage. Its subtle side-to-side darting motion, especially on hover or free rig setups, perfectly replicates a dying or distressed baitfish.

• Soft, Buoyant Body Material:
  Made from ultra-soft plastic, the Driftfry 3.0 offers excellent pliability, enhancing both action and hook-up ratio. Its slow sink rate allows for a more natural fall, which is critical when targeting suspended fish.

• Belly Slit for Versatile Rigging:
  The slit on the underside makes it easy to rig with a hover-strolling jig head, dropshot, small ball-head jig, or even weightless with an offset hook for a stealthy approach.

• Scent-Infused Formula:
  Pre-loaded with Jackall’s signature scent to encourage longer holds and increased strikes, especially when finesse techniques call for minimal movement and maximum realism.

Specifications:

• Length: 3.0 inches (75mm), 4.0 inches (101.6mm), and 5.0 inches (127mm).

• Weight: ~3.0 1/16 oz, 4.0 1/11 oz, 5.0 1/8 oz

• Material: Soft plastic with infused scent

• Rigging Options: Dropshot, jig head, hover rig, free rig, weightless

• Target Species: Bass, trout, crappie, perch, and other predator fish

• Recommended Gear: Spinning setup with light fluorocarbon or braid-to-leader.  For 5.2 inch model use a casting setup with 8-10 fluorocarbon or braid-to-leader.

The Hideup Coike Fish Gill brings a school-inspired bluegill profile to your bass tackle box. Developed from a long-standing concept made possible by advances in manufacturing, the L model uses outward-spreading parts to suggest a school of juvenile bluegill around a central food target. The center ball's textured finish adds a realistic surface detail, making the focal point look like a natural prey item within the group.

Positioned between the Coike Full Cast and Coike 17mm in relative size, the Gill L fills the gap between those two profiles. This listing offers M and L selections with model-specific color lineups and one bait per package.

A School-Inspired Alternative to Another Worm

A conventional worm or single baitfish imitation presents one familiar shape. The Coike Fish Gill offers a different visual target: a central food item surrounded by a gathering of small fish. Reach for it when you want to explore a gill-oriented presentation around bass holding near small forage, rather than simply repeat the same profile.

The Right Pick If...

You want a deliberate, forage-focused approach instead of a fast-moving search bait. Start in clear to lightly stained water where you can observe the presentation and fish can inspect its shape. Its distinctive profile is the reason to choose it; match your rig to depth and cover rather than treating it as a one-setup solution.

What Sets the Gill Apart

• School-inspired L profile: Outward-spreading parts suggest a group of juvenile bluegill around a central prey item.
• Textured L center: A fine surface finish adds detail to the central ball.
• Intermediate L profile: Positioned between Coike 17mm and Coike Full Cast in relative size.
• M and L options: Different color lineups let you choose your model and presentation.
• Pack quantity: One bait per package.

Compare Your Model Options

Green Pumpkin, Scuppernong, Ebi Dappi and Tamaranbai Dark Shrimp are listed in both models. Other colors vary by model; use the size and color selector to choose your combination.

Give the Profile Time to Show

As a starting experiment, test short, controlled movements followed by pauses. Watch the rig beside the bank or boat first and check that the parts remain free to move. For a drop-shot trial, select a hook with adequate clearance and test the assembled rig before making a full cast. These are starting approaches to explore, not a fixed hook-size or rigging prescription.

Best for: Freshwater bass anglers exploring bluegill-oriented presentations, slow swim-and-pause retrieves, and carefully fitted finesse-rig experiments near small-forage activity.

Pick a Color With a Purpose

Green Pumpkin is a practical natural-color starting point. Try a darker Scuppernong shade when you want stronger contrast, or compare the L model's Clear Wakasagi and Squash Lemon options when a translucent or brighter look suits your approach. Change one variable at a time so you can judge the fish's response.

Tackle Express Tips

• Choose the size first. Not every color is offered in both M and L.
• Check hook clearance and movement beside you before casting; a freely moving profile matters more than an aggressive retrieve.
• Compare shorter movements and longer pauses before switching colors.

Questions Before Your First Cast

How many baits come in a package?
Both the M and L models contain one bait per package.

Are all colors offered in both models?
No. This listing has nine M combinations and eight L combinations. Green Pumpkin, Scuppernong, Ebi Dappi and Tamaranbai Dark Shrimp appear in both.

What makes the L model distinctive?
Its outward-spreading parts suggest small bluegill around a central food target, with fine texturing on the center ball.

The Urchin Bait That's Taking Tournament Bass Fishing by Storm

Finesse fishing keeps evolving, and the Big Bite Baits Orbix 19mm is one of the most exciting new soft plastics to hit the market. Built around a compact 19mm core with orbiting appendages that pulse, flutter, and shimmy on every twitch and fall, the Orbix triggers reaction strikes from bass that have seen every other bait in the box. If you fish wacky rigs, neko rigs, or drop shots around docks, laydowns, and finesse structure, this bait belongs in your rotation.

Built Around a Proven Concept

The urchin-style bait category has been dominating tournament bass fishing for good reason — the multi-appendage design creates erratic, lifelike movement that no single-tail or paddle-tail bait can replicate. Big Bite Baits took that concept and refined it with their proprietary TPE plastic formula: buoyant enough to give the appendages maximum action, durable enough to survive multiple fish without tearing apart.

What Standard Finesse Baits Miss

Traditional wacky worms and stick baits produce a predictable, side-to-side fall that pressured bass have learned to ignore. The Orbix changes the equation — its orbiting appendages create a chaotic, multi-directional action on the fall that looks like nothing else in the water. When bass are finicky and won't commit to conventional presentations, the Orbix gives them something they haven't seen before.

How to Rig It

The Orbix is designed for finesse presentations that let the bait do the work. Hook through the 19mm core for wacky-style action, or add a nail weight for a neko-style head-down shimmy on bottom contact. Pair with Reins TG Tungsten Nail Sinkers to dial in your fall rate — heavier weights for deeper water or faster falls, lighter for a slow, tantalizing drop in the strike zone.

The Right Pick If...

• You fish wacky or neko rigs around docks, laydowns, and finesse structure
• You're targeting pressured bass that have seen every conventional soft plastic
• You want a compact, high-action bait for drop shot or shaky head applications
• You're looking for a tournament-edge bait that stands out in clear to stained water
• You want to add an urchin-style bait to your finesse arsenal

Best Fishing Techniques

• Wacky rig — hook through the core for maximum appendage flutter on the fall; deadly around docks and laydowns
• Neko rig — nail weight in one end for a head-down shimmy on bottom contact; great for rocky structure and points
• Drop shot — nose-hook below a drop shot weight for a suspended, pulsing presentation
• Shaky head — thread onto a light jig head for a bottom-hopping presentation with constant appendage movement

Best Conditions

• Clear to lightly stained water where subtle, natural action triggers bites
• Pressured fisheries where finesse presentations outperform power fishing
• Dock fishing, laydowns, and shallow to mid-depth structure
• Post-frontal conditions when bass are finicky and slow to commit

Best For

• Species: Largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, spotted bass
• Techniques: Wacky rig, neko rig, drop shot, shaky head
• Gear: Light to medium-light spinning or baitcasting, 6–10 lb. fluorocarbon or braid-to-fluoro leader

Key Features

• 19mm core with orbiting appendages for erratic, multi-directional action
• Big Bite Baits proprietary TPE plastic — buoyant and durable
• Compact profile triggers bites from finicky, pressured bass
• Versatile — wacky, neko, drop shot, and shaky head compatible
• Available in 6 tournament-proven colors
• Freshwater application

Models & Specs

Tackle Express Tips

• Start with Watermelon Seed or Green Pumpkin: These natural colors are your go-to in clear water. Disco Violet and Scuppernong shine in low-light conditions or stained water when you want more visibility.
• Nail weight placement matters: For neko rig, insert a Reins TG Tungsten Nail Sinker into the core — tungsten's density gives you a faster, more precise fall than lead at the same weight.
• Mix it up with other finesse baits: The Orbix pairs well with a Daiwa Yamamoto Neko Macho in your rotation — alternate between the two to figure out what the fish want on any given day.

FAQ

What hook size works best for the Orbix 19mm?
For wacky rigging, a size 1 or 1/0 wacky hook works well with the 19mm core. For neko rig, a size 1 or 2 straight-shank hook keeps the bait balanced and allows the appendages to move freely.

How many come in a pack?
The Big Bite Baits Orbix is sold individually — 1 bait per pack at $6.99, allowing you to pick exactly the colors you want without committing to a multi-pack.

Is the Orbix good for smallmouth bass?
Yes — the compact 19mm size and erratic appendage action make it an excellent smallmouth bait, particularly on a drop shot or neko rig around rocky structure, points, and mid-depth flats.

When Size Matters — The Uni Gets Bigger

The original Yamamoto Uni already had a cult following among finesse bass anglers. The Yamamoto Uni Mas 20mm takes everything that made it great and scales it up — a larger 20mm body with the same multi-appendage design that pulses, shimmies, and flutters with the slightest movement. When you need a more visible profile to get noticed in deeper water, stained conditions, or when targeting bigger fish, the Uni Mas is the answer.

The Uni Platform, Evolved

Built on Yamamoto's proven TPE formula, the Uni Mas delivers the same durability and lifelike action as the original Yamamoto Uni — but with a presence that commands attention. Each bulbed appendage catches water independently, creating a chaotic, multi-directional shimmy on the fall that no single-tail or paddle-tail bait can replicate. Whether you're fishing it on a slow, methodical drop or snapping it with sharp rod twitches, the Uni Mas responds with action that triggers reaction strikes.

Why Standard Finesse Baits Fall Short

Conventional drop shot baits — straight worms, minnow profiles, small craws — produce predictable, linear action that pressured bass have learned to ignore. The Uni Mas changes the equation with its urchin-style appendage design: every appendage moves independently, creating an erratic, lifelike profile that looks alive even when the bait is sitting still. In clear water or on heavily pressured fisheries, that difference is the difference between getting bit and going home empty-handed.

How to Rig It

The Uni Mas is purpose-built for finesse presentations. Nose-hook it on a drop shot rig below a VMC Tungsten Tear Drop Shot Weight for a suspended, pulsing presentation that drives bass crazy on slack line. For neko rig, insert a Reins TG Tungsten Nail Sinker into the nose for a head-down shimmy on bottom contact — deadly on rocky points and hard-bottom structure.

The Right Pick If...

• You want a larger urchin-style bait for deeper water or bigger fish
• You fish drop shot or neko rig on pressured bass fisheries
• You're targeting largemouth, smallmouth, or spotted bass in clear to stained water
• You want to step up from the original Uni when fish want a bigger profile
• You need a finesse bait that produces action even when sitting still

Best Fishing Techniques

• Drop shot — nose-hook below a tungsten weight for a suspended, pulsating presentation; shake on slack line for maximum appendage action
• Neko rig — nail weight in the nose for a head-down shimmy on bottom contact; great for rocky structure and points
• Wacky rig — hook through the center body for a fluttering fall around docks and laydowns
• Shaky head — thread onto a light jig head for a bottom-hopping presentation with constant appendage movement

Best Conditions

• Clear to lightly stained water where subtle, natural action triggers bites
• Pressured fisheries where finesse presentations outperform power fishing
• Deeper water (10–30+ ft.) where a larger profile gets noticed on the drop
• Post-frontal conditions when bass are finicky and slow to commit

Best For

• Species: Largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, spotted bass
• Techniques: Drop shot, neko rig, wacky rig, shaky head
• Gear: Light to medium-light spinning, 6–10 lb. fluorocarbon or braid-to-fluoro leader

Key Features

• 20mm body — larger profile than the original Uni for deeper water and bigger fish
• Multi-appendage urchin design — each arm moves independently for erratic, lifelike action
• Yamamoto TPE formula — durable, buoyant, and responsive to subtle rod movements
• Produces action even when sitting still on slack line
• Available in 9 proven colors for clear to stained water conditions
• Freshwater application

Models & Specs

Tackle Express Tips

• Start with Green Pumpkin or Watermelon Red in clear water: These natural colors are your go-to in clear conditions. Step up to Black & Blue or Pearl Hologram in low-light or stained water for more contrast and visibility.
• Size up from the original Uni when fish go deep: The 20mm Uni Mas has more presence at depth than the original Yamamoto Uni — if you're marking fish on your graph but not getting bites, switching to the Mas often makes the difference.
• Shake, don't jerk: On a drop shot, subtle rod tip shakes on slack line produce the most appendage action. Aggressive snaps can cause the bait to spin — keep your movements small and let the bait do the work.

FAQ

What's the difference between the Yamamoto Uni and the Uni Mas?
The Uni Mas features a larger 20mm body compared to the original Uni, giving it a bigger profile and more presence in the water. The Mas is the better choice for deeper water, larger fish, or when you need a more visible bait in stained conditions. The original Yamamoto Uni is the go-to for ultra-finesse presentations in clear, shallow water.

How many come in a pack?
The Yamamoto Uni Mas is sold as a single bait — 1 per pack at $17.99 — allowing you to pick exactly the colors you want without committing to a multi-pack.

What hook size works best for drop shot rigging?
A size 1 or 1/0 drop shot hook works well with the 20mm Uni Mas. Nose-hook it through the top of the body to keep the appendages hanging freely and maximize action on slack line.

The TIEMCO Harinezumi Baby gives your bass lineup a different look: an elongated creature-bait body surrounded by finger-like appendages, with a long tail and a compact 70mm profile. When you want to move beyond a straight worm or a conventional craw, this hedgehog-style bait offers a distinctive silhouette without stepping up to a large presentation.

At 6g per bait, the Baby is a useful starting point for experimenting with a lightly weighted offset-hook setup. Work it deliberately around a promising target rather than treating it as a fast search bait. Make a short cast beside a dock or along a weed edge, let the rig settle, and alternate small movements with pauses.

A Different Profile for Familiar Water

Repeatedly showing fish the same shape limits your presentation options. The Harinezumi Baby adds a many-legged profile to your rotation while keeping the overall package small. Choose it when you want to slow down and fish individual targets for largemouth or smallmouth bass. It is a more deliberate option than a moving bait for covering water, and heavier wind, current or dense cover may call for additional weight or a different rig.

Where to Start

Best for: finesse-minded bass fishing, lightly weighted Texas rigs, dock edges, sparse vegetation and methodical target fishing. Start in calm or lightly breezy conditions where you can watch the line and control the rig. Adjust weight to depth, wind and cover rather than using the same setup everywhere.

Begin with a size #1 to 1/0 offset hook. Rig the body straight, leave enough hook gap for the bait to move clear, and check the rig beside the boat or bank before making a full cast. Try short lifts followed by a pause, then change the pause length before changing baits.

Small Details, Distinctive Shape

• Hedgehog-style creature profile with multiple finger-like appendages.
• Elongated body with a visible central slot and long tail.
• 70mm (2.75in) size and 6g (approximately 1/5oz) bait weight.
• Recommended offset-hook range: #1 to 1/0.
• Two baits per pack, with five color choices in this listing.

Harinezumi Baby Models & Specs

Choose Your Starting Color

Try Green Pumpkin #17 as a natural-toned starting point, or choose Solid Black #00 when you want a darker silhouette. Dark Mimizu #16 offers a brown-purple look, while Yummy Tenaga #25 and Loco Beetle #26 provide lighter, flecked appendages around a darker body. Let water clarity, available light and the fish's response guide your next change.

Tackle Express Tips

• Check the hook gap: hook shapes vary even at the same marked size. Make sure the body does not crowd the gap before fishing.
• Change the pace first: alternate a few short movements with a longer pause to find a useful cadence.
• Store separately: keep the baits in their original packaging, away from heat and other soft-bait materials.

Round Out Your Rig

For a size #1 offset option within the recommended range, consider Gamakatsu Offset Shank Worm Hooks 074, checking the gap against the bait before use. Pair your subsurface setup with Seaguar Tatsu Fluorocarbon Line, choosing line strength to suit the cover and your tackle.

Harinezumi Baby Questions, Answered

How big is the Harinezumi Baby?
It measures 70mm (2.75in) and weighs 6g, approximately 1/5oz, per bait. Each pack contains two baits.

What hook size should I use?
The recommended range is a #1 to 1/0 offset hook. Check the actual hook shape and gap against the bait, since sizing differs between hook styles.

How should I start fishing it for bass?
Try a lightly weighted Texas rig around individual targets. Use short lifts and pauses, adding weight only as needed to control the rig at your chosen depth.

See the Harinezumi in Action

The Hideup Coike Fish Elastomer turns a familiar urchin-style profile into a small school of baitfish. Each appendage is shaped like a fish, with molded eye and fin details surrounding a textured center ball. As the bait moves through the water, those fish-shaped arms follow the center, creating the look of small baitfish competing for food.

Reach for it when you want a different visual presentation from a straight worm or a single baitfish imitation. Available in M and L, the Coike Fish gives bass anglers a distinctive option for deliberate retrieves and finesse presentations around feeding areas.

A Bait Ball Instead of One More Worm

A conventional soft bait represents one piece of forage. The Coike Fish adds the appearance of several small fish around a central target, giving you a different profile to show bass that have seen the usual offerings. Its appeal is the combination of fish-shaped detail and movement, not a need to work it aggressively.

The Right Pick for a Slower Approach

Consider it for largemouth and smallmouth bass when fish are relating to small forage or when you want to experiment with a compact, unusual presentation. Start in clear to lightly stained water where bass can inspect the shape. It is a targeted presentation choice rather than a replacement for fast-moving search baits or heavy-cover lures.

What Makes the Coike Fish Different

• Fish-shaped appendages surround the center to suggest a gathering of baitfish.
• Molded eyes and fins add detail to each fish-shaped arm.
• A textured center ball adds surface detail to the central target.
• Elastomer construction distinguishes these models from conventional soft-plastic offerings.
• M and L options let you choose between the two listed sizes.

Models & Specs

Choose your size and color from the variant selector. Color options include Green Pumpkin #303, Watermelon Seed #304, Green Pumpkin Candy #302, and Black Solid #109.

Give the Small Fish Room to Move

Start with short, controlled swimming movements and pauses rather than a hard, continuous retrieve. Watch the bait beside the boat or bank to see how the appendages follow the center. Adjust your retrieve until the arms move freely instead of bunching together.

For a drop-shot experiment, choose a hook that leaves adequate clearance around the center and test the rig in the water before fishing. Gamakatsu G Finesse Tournament Drop Shot Hooks offer a finesse hook option; select the size to suit the bait and your rig. Pair the setup with VMC Tungsten Cylinder Drop Shot Weights, choosing enough weight to maintain control at your fishing depth.

Pick a Color With a Purpose

Green Pumpkin and Watermelon Seed are useful starting points for a subdued look. Try Green Pumpkin Candy when you want added fleck, or Black Solid when you want a darker silhouette. Let water clarity, available light, and the fish's response guide the final choice.

Tackle Express Tips

• Test the rig next to you first. Check hook clearance and make sure the fish-shaped appendages can move without catching on the hook or line.
• Change cadence before changing colors. Compare a short swim and pause with small shakes in place.
• Keep the bait in its original packaging and separate from other soft baits unless material compatibility is confirmed.

Questions Before Your First Cast

Is the Coike Fish the same as the Coike Full Cast?
No. The Coike Fish has individual fish-shaped appendages with molded eye and fin details around a textured center. This listing covers the M and L elastomer models.

Which bass presentations should I try first?
Start with controlled swimming movements and pauses to explore its bait-ball action. A carefully fitted drop-shot rig is another presentation to experiment with after checking hook clearance and movement in the water.

Are separate eyes included?
Hideup states that optional eyes are not included. The fish-shaped appendages already have molded eye details.

Choose your Coike Fish size and color at Tackle Express, then build a setup that lets its distinctive profile do the work.
