The Keitech Super Round Tungsten Jig Head is a high-performance, professional-grade jig head from Japan. The round head design features a slender collar that holds soft plastic baits securely without tearing them. The hooks are engineered with a specific bend that increases strength and improves hook-up ratios. Tungsten is significantly harder and denser than lead, enabling a smaller, more compact head profile for the same weight — with greater sensitivity to bottom composition and structure.
Key Features
- Tungsten head — harder and denser than lead, smaller profile
- Round head design — versatile presentation for drop shot, split shot, and light line techniques
- Slender collar — holds soft plastics securely without tearing
- Engineered hook bend — increased strength and hook-up ratio
- Choose your weight and hook size — 20 configurations available

Deps Cover Scat Stick Bait is poured with a bulky body and an ultra-high specific gravity material that boasts 40% salt content. Despite its relatively small size, the Cover Scat is heavy stick bait packed with tons of salt. The Deps Cover Scat is for sale in 17 colors.
Designed to be fished without any extra weight, this stick bait features a fast horizontal fall and uses body stabilization fins at the sides to encourage the proper posture.
A molded hook guard slot and belly hook slot allows for easy rigging and improves your hook-up rate with less plastic to shift down the hook, while the bulb on the top of the bait serves as a hook point guard to keep the presentation completely weedless.
With no additional legs, the Deps Cover Scat Stick Bait gets in and out of cover with ease and is ideal for fishing around heavy cover and vertical structure like overhanging trees, dams, dock pilings, and bushes along the shoreline.

Elevate your finesse fishing with the Z-Man Chatterbait Flashback Mini, a deadly, compact bladed jig designed to trigger aggressive strikes from a wide variety of species. By combining a downsized version of the patented hex-shaped ChatterBlade with a hand-painted, holographic minnow body, Z-Man has created a unique bait that excels in clear water and heavily pressured fisheries.
Unlike standard bladed jigs, the Flashback Mini features a skirtless design, allowing it to slip through the water with a more subtle, streamlined approach. Its signature direct head-to-blade connection ensures the bait starts thumping and vibrating the moment you begin your retrieve, delivering an exaggerated side-to-side hunting action that fish find irresistible.

Patented ChatterBait Design: Features the famous direct-to-head blade connection for instant vibration and a hard-hitting side-to-side shimmy.
-
Holographic Flash: The hand-painted minnow body is infused with multi-hue holographic foil, creating a realistic flash that mimics high-protein forage.
-
Skirtless Finesse Profile: Offers a more subtle and natural presentation than full-sized jigs, making it ideal for wary trout, panfish, and pond bass.
-
Multi-Species Dominance: A highly versatile tool for targeting crappie, bluegill, perch, trout, and bass in both fresh and brackish water.
-
Superior Durability: Built to withstand dozens of catches, with some anglers reporting over 100 fish on a single rig before needing a replacement.
-
Complete Package: Each pack comes pre-rigged with one minnow body and includes one additional unrigged curly tail body for versatile presentation options.
-
Ultra-Light Performance: Available in 1/16 and 1/8 ounce weights, perfect for ultra-light tackle and small bodies of water.
The Roboworm 6" Straight Tail Worms have become a staple for finesse fishing, harkening back to the days of the 'hand poured' finesse worms so popular on the West Coast more than a decade ago.
The Straight Tail Worms are surprisingly effective, especially during the warmer months when fish pressure and boat traffic are at their peak. Roboworm uses state-of-the-art robotic technology to create consistent, well-defined colors every time. It also allows them to create unique color combinations, usually only found in 'hand poured' worms. The super soft plastic Straight Tail Worms end up having a very sensitive, alluring action complete with a Salt Release System that provides a burst of salt when a fish bites ' causing them to hold on longer for solid hooksets.
Style: Straight Tail Floating Worm

The PK-5 is the size most calico bass are eating most of the year. Five inches of paddle-tail profile — big enough to move water and get noticed over structure, small enough that a fish doesn't have to think about it.
Short version: 5", half an ounce, four baits per pack, weedless through a 4/0 or 5/0 hook. This is the workhorse in the Pickle Kick lineup and the default choice for open water, boiler rock, and umbrella rig arms.
What It Does in the Water
The body shape and tail were developed through computational fluid dynamics testing, which in practice means the tail kicks at slow speeds instead of needing to be burned to come alive. That matters over structure, where you want the bait crawling through the zone rather than racing past it.
The plastisol is on the firm side of soft. It costs you a little tail action compared to the softest baits on the shelf, and it buys you fish per bait — a calico that would shred a soft plastic in one grab tends to leave this one fishable.
Rigged on a swing head or a weighted EWG, the hook point tucks into the body slot and the bait comes through kelp stringers and rock without loading up.
Where It Earns Its Keep
- Slow-rolling boiler rock and kelp at Catalina and the outer islands — the bread-and-butter calico presentation.
- Open water over schooling bait, where the 5" profile matches most of what's swimming.
- Surf fishing on a lighter head, worked through troughs and along structure.
- Umbrella rig arms — the standard bait for a five-arm A-rig. See below.
Rigging It
Match a 4/0 or 5/0 hook to the body. Run the point up through the belly and out the top so it sits in the slot — buried too deep and you lose hookups, sitting too proud and you lose the weedless advantage.
Head weight sets the fall speed and the depth you can hold. A Warbaits Neck Breaker Swing Head in 1/2 oz is the general-purpose pairing; drop to 1/4 oz for shallow calm water, go 3/4 or 1 oz for deeper structure and current.
How many packs a five-arm umbrella rig takes
| What you need | Quantity | Packs to buy |
|---|---|---|
| PK-5 swimbaits | 5 (one per arm) | 2 packs — 8 baits, 3 spare |
| Swing heads, bottom two arms | 2 × 1/2 oz | 1 pack |
| Swing heads, top three arms | 3 × 1/4 oz | 2 packs |
| The rig itself | 1 | 1 PK-Rig |
Buy the baits in one color if you want the school to read as one school. Some anglers run four matching and one odd bait as a target — both work, and two packs covers either.
Our crew wrote a photo-by-photo guide covering the arm bend, keel weighting, bait sizing by location, and how to keep five arms of hooks out of every other rod in the rack.
Read the full umbrella rig setup guide →Picking a Color
Color names are fun and mostly not the point. What matters is contrast against the water you're in:
| Conditions | What to reach for |
|---|---|
| Clear water, bright sun | Natural baitfish patterns — translucent, silver, sardine and smelt tones. |
| Green or stained water | Darker backs and green-brown bodies that hold a silhouette. |
| Dirty water, low light, deep | High-contrast and solid colors. Profile beats detail once visibility drops. |
| Fish keyed on a specific bait | Match it — mackerel, smelt, and perch patterns are in the lineup for a reason. |
Pro Tips from the Tackle Express Crew
- Slow down. The tail works at a crawl. Most anglers fish this bait faster than it wants to be fished and never see what it does.
- Keep the hook point in the slot. Buried in the plastic costs you hookups; riding proud costs you the weedless advantage. It should sit flush.
- Re-seat it after every few fish. The bait slides down the shank and starts running crooked long before it looks damaged.
- Buy two colors, not five. One natural and one dark covers most SoCal days better than a box of one-offs.
Common Mistakes
- Too much head for the depth. A heavy head drags the nose down and kills the tail. Use the lightest head that holds your zone.
- Wrong hook size. Under 4/0 and the gap won't clear the body on the hookset.
- Buying one pack for an umbrella rig. Four per pack, five arms. One pack leaves you an arm short.
- Fishing a torn bait because it still looks fine. A split at the hook slot lets the bait spin, and a spinning bait twists your line.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many baits come in a pack?
Four.
What hook size does the PK-5 take?
4/0 or 5/0. Anything smaller and the gap won't clear the body on the hookset.
What jig head weight should I use?
1/2 oz covers most calico fishing. Drop to 1/4 oz in shallow calm water; go 3/4 or 1 oz for depth and current. Use the lightest head that holds your zone.
Is it weedless?
Yes, when the hook point sits flush in the body slot. That's what lets it come through kelp and rock without loading up.
How many packs do I need for a five-arm umbrella rig?
Two. Five arms, four baits per pack — you'll finish with three spares, which you will use.
PK-3, PK-5, or PK-7 — which one?
PK-5 is the everyday size and matches what calicos eat most of the year. Drop to the PK-3 inside harbors and bays when the bait is small. Go PK-7 when you want a bigger meal and you're on a rod that can throw it.
Can I use it in freshwater?
Yes. It's a saltwater bait by design and market, but the same slow-roll presentation works on largemouth.
How long does one bait last?
Depends entirely on what eats it. The plastisol is firmer than most soft baits specifically so a fish doesn't end the bait's day in one grab, but no soft plastic is permanent — change it when the hook slot splits.
Gear That Goes With It
- Warbaits Neck Breaker Swing Head — the standard head for this bait, two per pack.
- Kicker PK-Rig Umbrella Rig — five-arm rig with quick clips.
- Kicker Pickle Kick PK-3 — harbor and bay size.

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
Best For
| Technique | Species | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Wacky Rig | All bass species | Docks, laydowns, open water, big bass targeting |
| Weightless Texas Rig | All bass species | Sparse cover, open water, quality fish targeting |
| Neko Rig | All bass species | Hard bottom, clear water, big bass finesse |
| Drop Shot | All bass species | Suspended fish, deep structure, larger profile |
| Carolina Rig | All bass species | Deep structure, hard bottom, large profile dragging |
Key Features
- 5" larger profile — attracts bigger bass and produces more bulk than the 4"
- 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
- 10 per pack
Tackle Express Tips
- 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".
- 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.
- 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.

SPRO Flappin Frog 65 gives bass anglers a topwater frog they can buzz across the surface or slow down around a promising opening. Its legs kick with slight forward movement, so you can change pace without changing baits. A floating elastomer body lets you stop it after a missed strike and give a fish another look.
Keep the Legs Working
Some days bass react to a fast, noisy retrieve; other days they want the frog walked back more slowly. The Flappin Frog is made for both approaches. Its Gamakatsu 4/0 Nano Smooth Coating double frog hook supports a weedless presentation around cover, while the TPE body is designed for durability. The real advantage is being able to experiment with speed and pauses on the same cast.
The Right Pick If...
You want a 65 mm topwater frog with kicking-leg, buzzing action for freshwater bass fishing. Choose it for moving surface presentations and the option to stop after a missed bite. For a popping presentation instead, compare the SPRO Bronzeye Popper Frog 60; for a smaller popper profile, see the Bronzeye Baby Popper 50.
Best For
- Topwater bass fishing around vegetation and cover.
- Buzzing retrieves with the legs kicking across the surface.
- Slower walks and pauses when fish follow or miss the bait.
Key Features
- 65 mm length and 5/8 oz weight, as stated in the existing listing.
- Floating TPE elastomer body.
- Kicking legs that create buzzing topwater action.
- Gamakatsu 4/0 Nano Smooth Coating double frog hook.
- Twelve listed color options.
Models & Specs
| Model | Length | Weight | Hook |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flappin Frog 65 (all listed colors) | 65 mm | 5/8 oz | Gamakatsu 4/0 Nano Smooth Coating double frog hook |
How to Fish It
Cast past the cover you want to work and bring the frog across the surface so the legs kick and buzz. Vary the speed, then stop it near an opening or after a missed strike. Around thick vegetation, match it with a suitable frog setup; SPRO Bronzeye Braid 8X Moss Green is another line option to consider.
Tackle Express Tips
- Start with a steady retrieve, then slow down if fish follow without taking it.
- Pause near gaps in cover to give a fish time to come back.
- Check the legs and hook for weeds after each pass through vegetation.
FAQ
What size is the Flappin Frog 65? The listing states 65 mm and 5/8 oz.
Can I pause it after a missed strike? Yes. Its floating body lets you stop the bait and try to draw a follow-up bite.

When the bait in the water is small, five inches of swimbait is the wrong answer. Inside harbors and bays, spotted bay bass are keyed on little stuff most of the year, and a big profile gets looked at and refused.
Short version: 3", 0.35 oz, three to five baits per pack, the weedless on a 1/0 or 2/0 hook. The smallest bait in the Pickle Kick line, the cheapest per bait, and the only size where one pack builds one complete umbrella rig.
Where It Earns Its Keep
- Harbors and bays — the primary use. Spotted bay bass on the bottom around structure, docks, and rock walls.
- Skinny water and calm conditions, where a heavy bait lands too hard and a light one can be crawled.
- When you're getting followed but not bit. Fish tracking a bigger bait and turning off is a size problem more often than a color problem.
- Umbrella rig arms for harbor fishing — five small profiles reads like a real bait ball inside the bay. See below.
- Freshwater largemouth and smallmouth, where a 3" paddle tail is a year-round confidence size.
Our crew wrote a photo-by-photo guide covering the arm bend, keel weighting, bait sizing by location, and how to keep five arms of hooks out of every other rod in the rack.
Read the full umbrella rig setup guide →Rigging It
Match a 1/0 or 2/0 hook to the body — considerably smaller than what the PK-5 takes, so don't reach into that box. Run the point up through the belly so it sits flush in the slot. On a body this size, a hook that's even slightly oversized will bind the bait and kill the tail.
Keep the head light. A 1/4 oz head is the general-purpose pairing for harbor bottom work; drop to 1/8 oz in shallow calm water. The whole reason to fish a 3" bait is a slow, natural fall — too much lead and you've thrown that away.
Picking a Color
Inside harbors the water is usually working against you, so contrast matters more than pattern detail:
| Conditions | What to reach for |
|---|---|
| Clear harbor water | Natural and translucent baitfish tones — smelt, minnow, and bone patterns. |
| Green or stained water | Green-brown bodies that hold a silhouette against the bottom. |
| Dirty water and low light | High-contrast and solid colors. Profile beats detail once visibility drops. |
| Fish on crab or shrimp | Craw and mottled patterns worked slowly along the bottom. |
Pro Tips from the Tackle Express Crew
- Size down before you change color. When fish are following and refusing, the profile is usually the problem. This is the bait you drop to.
- Fish it on the bottom, slowly. Harbor spotties are a bottom-contact fish. Drag, pause, and let it sit longer than feels right.
- Don't reuse your PK-5 hooks. A 4/0 in a 3" body binds the bait and kills the action. 1/0 or 2/0.
- At five per pack, buy the color you'll fish all day. One pack covers a full umbrella rig or a full session of singles.
Common Mistakes
- Too much head weight. The slow fall is the entire advantage of a 3" bait. A heavy head throws it away.
- Oversized hook. The most common rigging error on this size, and it stops the tail dead.
- Fishing it in open water where the bait is big. This isn't the outer-island bait — that's the PK-5.
- Retrieving it like a 5" bait. Faster doesn't help. Bottom contact and pauses do.
What's Included
Five PK-3 swimbaits per pack, in the color selected. Hooks, jig heads, and the umbrella rig are sold separately. One pack rigs a complete five-arm umbrella rig.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many baits come in a pack?
Five.
What hook size does the PK-3 take?
1/0 or 2/0. Much smaller than the PK-5's 4/0–5/0 — an oversized hook binds the body and kills the tail.
How many packs do I need for a five-arm umbrella rig?
One. Five baits, five arms. It's the only Pickle Kick size where the math is exact.
PK-3 or PK-5?
PK-3 inside harbors, bays, and skinny water where the bait is small. PK-5 for open water, boiler rock, and the outer islands. If fish are following your bigger bait and refusing it, drop to the PK-3.
What jig head weight should I use?
1/4 oz for general harbor bottom work, 1/8 oz in shallow calm water. Keep it light — a slow fall is the point of this size.
Is it weedless?
Yes, when the hook point sits flush in the body slot. That's what lets it come through structure without loading up.
Can I use it in freshwater?
Yes. A 3" paddle tail is a year-round size for largemouth and smallmouth on the same slow, bottom-contact presentations.
What are the Aftco colors?
A collaboration series between Kicker and Aftco. Same body and same specs — the difference is the color pattern.
Gear That Goes With It
- Warbaits Neck Breaker Swing Head — 1/8 oz and 1/4 oz are the weights for this bait.
- Kicker PK-Rig Umbrella Rig — five-arm rig with quick clips.
- Kicker Pickle Kick PK-5 — the everyday 5" open-water size.
- Kicker Pickle Kick PK-7 — the big-profile option.
- Kicker Booty Spin — same family with a spinning blade instead of a paddle tail.

BKK Split Ring-51 gives your lure and hook connections a cleaner, more dependable link. These stainless steel split rings are precision forged and tempered to balance strength with elasticity, then chemically polished to smooth the edges and help protect line and terminal tackle from abrasion.
Whether you are rebuilding a hard bait after a long day of casting or refreshing the connection on a saltwater trolling lure, the right split ring keeps the rest of the rig working as intended. With listed options from 30 lb through 400 lb, you can match the ring to the lure, hook, and technique instead of forcing one size to do everything.
Why the Connection Matters
Standard hardware can rust, develop rough edges, or flex when the lure is working hard. The Split Ring-51 is built for wet fishing conditions where corrosion resistance, smooth finishing, and controlled elasticity matter. The tradeoff is simple: choose the correct size for your setup and use split-ring pliers for a clean, secure installation.
Where It Fits Best
- Techniques: casting, trolling, jigging, and replacing lure-to-hook connections.
- Conditions: saltwater, brackish water, and freshwater applications where terminal tackle is exposed to spray or repeated wetting.
- Best for: hard baits, plugs, jigs, replacement treble hooks, and general lure hardware upgrades.
Key Features
- High-quality stainless steel construction.
- Precision forged and tempered for strength and elasticity.
- Chemically polished finish that smooths angles and helps reduce line damage.
- Listed strength options from 30 lb to 400 lb.

Tackle Express Tips
- Match the ring to the lure and hook size, not just the target species. Oversized hardware can change lure action.
- Use split-ring pliers and check that the ring closes fully after installation.
- Rinse terminal tackle with fresh water after saltwater use and replace any ring that shows distortion or rough edges.
Build the Connection
Pair replacement rings with BKK Viper-61 Treble Hooks or BKK Raptor-Z Treble Hooks when refreshing a hard bait. For lure setups, see the Submission Fishing Jigs Mercenary.
FAQ
What are BKK Split Ring-51 rings used for?
They connect lures, plugs, jigs, and replacement hooks while providing a smooth, corrosion-resistant stainless steel connection.
Which size should I choose?
Choose the listed strength and physical size that suit the lure and hook connection. The available options run from 30 lb to 400 lb, so smaller rings fit lighter terminal tackle while larger rings suit heavier setups.
Do these split rings work in saltwater?
Yes. The stainless steel construction and chemically polished finish are suited to saltwater, brackish, and freshwater use. Rinse them with fresh water after saltwater trips.

The C3 Baits Ice Pick 3" is a staple finesse soft plastic born from over 40 years of fishing experience on Southern California's most pressured reservoirs — Castaic Lake, Pyramid Lake, and Lake Piru. Hand-poured, packaged, and delivered by Captain Castaic himself, John Petroski, the Ice Pick features a rounded profile tapering down to a flat pin tail that creates a subtle, irresistible action in the water column. Buoyant by design, it rides naturally on a dropshot or ball head jig, triggering bites when other baits can't.
Unlike a narrower profile bait, the Ice Pick's rounded body gives it just enough presence to be seen while staying light and natural — exactly what finicky bass in clear, pressured water demand. Change colors to match the hatch and this bait will produce year-round.
Key Features
- 3" buoyant pin tail profile — natural, light action in the water column
- Rounded body tapers to flat pin tail — more presence than a shimmy, more finesse than a worm
- Deadly on dropshot and ball head jig presentations
- Hand-poured and 100% handcrafted in Castaic, CA — made in USA
- Color-matched to local forage by Captain Castaic with 40+ years on the same lakes
