Tackle Express Tips
- Match jighead weight to depth — Use a 1/8–1/4 oz jighead for shallow presentations (under 10ft) where you want a slow, natural fall. Move to a 3/8–1/2 oz jighead for deeper water (10–25ft) or when you need to cover water faster. The 5" curly tail produces action at any retrieve speed — the slower the better in cold water.
- Green Pumpkin for natural bottom, Cream White for shad — Green Pumpkin w/ Black Flake (#297) is your go-to in clear water over natural bottom. Switch to Cream White (#036) or Smoke w/ Large Black Flake (#150) when bass are keying on shad in open water, and use Cinnamon w/ Black Flake (#176) in stained water for a natural crawfish-matching color.
- Slow down on the spinnerbait — The 5" Single Tail Grub adds significant bulk and a slower fall to a spinnerbait — use this to your advantage by slowing your retrieve speed. The extra bulk causes the spinnerbait to helicopter and flutter on the pause, which is often when fish commit. If fish are short-striking, slow down before switching colors.
FAQ
Q: What jighead size works best with the 5" Single Tail Grub?
A: A 1/4 oz round jighead is the standard starting point for most presentations. Use a 1/8 oz for a slower fall in shallow water or when fish are finicky, and a 3/8–1/2 oz for deeper water or when you need to cover water faster. A 3/0–4/0 hook is the right size for the 5" body.
Q: Is the 5" Single Tail Grub good for walleye and pike?
A: Yes — the 5" profile is an excellent size for walleye on a jighead and for pike on a larger jighead or as a spinnerbait trailer. Cream White and Smoke w/ Large Black Flake are top walleye colors, while Baby Bass and Green Pumpkin w/ Black Flake work well for pike in clear water.
Q: How does the 5" compare to smaller grub sizes?
A: The 5" is the go-to when you want a bigger profile to target medium to large bass or multi-species. It adds more bulk and a slower fall as a trailer compared to smaller sizes, and produces more water displacement on a jighead. Choose the 5" when you want to target larger fish or when a bigger profile gets more bites in your conditions.

Why Buy the Daiwa Yamamoto Neko Fat 4"?
The Daiwa Yamamoto Neko Fat 4" brings the proven Daiwa × Yamamoto Neko Fat formula into a more compact, finesse-friendly size. Combining Daiwa's precision detailing with Yamamoto's legendary salt-impregnated soft plastic, the 4" Neko Fat features a thick Senko-style body and a unique bulbous tail that produces a quivering, head-down action that bass can't resist. Fished weightless or on a Neko rig with a nail weight in the nose, it's one of the most versatile finesse baits in the lineup. 10 per pack, 10 proven Yamamoto colors.
Main Use & Benefit
A 4-inch compact thick-body Neko rig worm combining Yamamoto's salt-impregnated soft plastic with a Senko-style body and bulbous tail — the nail weight in the nose creates a head-down, quivering presentation that triggers strikes from finicky bass at any depth, while the shorter profile excels in clear water and finesse situations where the 5" is too large.
Problem It Solves
The 5" Neko Fat is a proven fish-catcher, but its larger profile can be too much for ultra-clear water, finicky smallmouth, and spotted bass that key on smaller forage. The 4" Neko Fat delivers the same thick-body action and bulbous tail quiver in a more compact package — ideal for downsizing without sacrificing the unique action that makes the Neko Fat series stand out.
Advantages
- ✅ Compact 4" profile — ideal for clear water, smallmouth, and finesse situations where the 5" is too large
- ✅ Thick Senko-style body — more bulk and presence than a standard Neko worm
- ✅ Bulbous tail — unique quivering action that differentiates it from standard stick baits
- ✅ Nail weight compatible — reach fish at depth on heavier gear
- ✅ Yamamoto salt-impregnated formula — natural feel, fish hold on longer
- ✅ Daiwa precision detailing — consistent quality and action
- ✅ 10 proven Yamamoto color options
- ✅ 10 per pack
- ⚠️ Thicker body requires a slightly larger O-ring for wacky rigging than a standard stick bait
When to Choose It
Choose the 4" Neko Fat over the 5" when you're fishing ultra-clear water, targeting smallmouth or spotted bass, or when you need to downsize to get more bites without giving up the Neko Fat's unique thick-body action. It's equally effective weightless on a wacky rig for shallow presentations and on a Neko rig with a nail weight for deeper structure.
Best Fishing Techniques
- Neko Rig — insert a 1/32–1/16 oz nail weight into the nose; hook through the center with a #1 or #2 wacky hook; the head-down fall and quivering tail action triggers strikes on the drop and at rest on the bottom
- Wacky Rig — hook through the center with a #1/0 wacky hook; use an O-ring to extend bait life; the thick body produces a pronounced, symmetrical wiggle on the fall
- Drop Shot — nose-hook on a #1 or #2 hook, 12–18" above the weight; the bulbous tail quivers naturally in the strike zone
- Shaky Head — thread onto a 3/16 oz shaky head for a stand-up presentation on hard bottom; the thick body and bulbous tail quiver on the pause
- Weightless Texas Rig — rig on a 2/0–3/0 EWG hook for a slow-falling presentation through sparse cover
Best Conditions
- Ultra-clear water where a compact, natural profile is most effective
- Smallmouth and spotted bass fisheries where a smaller profile gets more bites
- Deep structure (15–35ft) on Neko rig where weightless worms can't reach
- Post-frontal high pressure and slow-bite days
- Docks, laydowns, and open water on wacky rig
- Year-round — especially effective in summer (deep Neko) and spring (shallow wacky)
Best For
| Technique | Species | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Neko Rig | All bass species | Deep structure, hard bottom, clear water |
| Wacky Rig | All bass species | Docks, laydowns, open water, suspended fish |
| Drop Shot | Smallmouth, Spotted Bass | Suspended fish, deep structure, clear water |
| Shaky Head | All bass species | Hard bottom, rock, open water finesse |
| Weightless Texas Rig | Largemouth, Spotted Bass | Sparse cover, slow fall, open water |
Key Features

- Bulbous tail — unique quivering action on the fall and at rest
- Nail weight compatible — reach fish at depth on heavier gear
- Yamamoto salt-impregnated formula — natural feel, fish hold on longer

Tackle Express Tips
- Start with a 1/32 oz nail weight — The 4" Neko Fat's thick body is heavier than a standard finesse worm, so a 1/32 oz nail weight is usually enough for presentations up to 15ft. Move to a 1/16 oz nail weight for deeper water (15–35ft) or when you need a faster fall to stay in contact with the bait in current or wind.
- Green Pumpkin for clear water, Electric Shad for reaction — Green Pumpkin (#297) is your go-to in clear to lightly stained water where a natural bottom-matching color is critical. Switch to Electric Shad (#973) or Smoke w/ Black, Blue & Chartreuse Flake (#214) when you need a reaction color or when bass are keying on shad in open water.
- Downsize to the 4" when bites slow on the 5" — If you're fishing the 5" Neko Fat and bites slow down, switch to the 4" before changing colors or techniques. The smaller profile often triggers strikes from fish that have seen the larger bait — especially in clear water and post-frontal conditions.
FAQ
Q: What's the difference between the 4" and 5" Neko Fat?
A: Both use the same Daiwa × Yamamoto thick Senko-style body and bulbous tail formula. The 4" is the compact, finesse-oriented version — ideal for clear water, smallmouth, spotted bass, and situations where a smaller profile gets more bites. The 5" has more bulk and presence for largemouth in deeper water and situations where a larger profile is more effective. Start with the 4" when conditions are toughest or when targeting smaller bass species.
Q: What nail weight size works best for the 4" Neko Fat?
A: A 1/32 oz nail weight works best for shallow to mid-depth presentations (under 15ft). Use a 1/16 oz for deeper water (15–35ft) or when you need a faster fall. Insert the nail weight into the nose (blunt end) of the worm for the best head-down fall angle.
Q: Is the 4" Neko Fat good for smallmouth bass?
A: Yes — it's an excellent smallmouth bait on Neko rig and drop shot over rock and hard bottom. The compact 4" profile matches the smaller forage smallmouth key on in clear lakes and rivers. Natural Shad (#306) and Baby Bass (#305) are top smallmouth color picks.
The 6th Sense Flush 5.2 Soft Jerkbait was engineered in the 6th Sense Lure Lab with a level of anatomical detail that sets it apart from conventional soft jerkbaits. Every fin is accounted for — matching pectoral fins for balance and stability, a dorsal fin, anal fin, and a horizontal forked tail with a small ball at the base that produces the Flush’s signature action and keeps the bait tracking true on the fall and retrieve. The defining feature is the split dorsal fin that acts as a built-in weed guard for your hook — the origin of the name “Flush.” Pairs with a stout 5/0 Widegap hook. 5.2", 8 per pack.
Key Features
- Split Dorsal Fin — Built-In Weed Guard — The dorsal fin is equally separated to create a built-in weed guard that shields the hook point from grass, wood, and cover; allows the Flush to be fished through heavy cover that would snag a conventional exposed-hook soft jerkbait; the weed guard design is the origin of the name “Flush” — the hook flushes against the body for a clean, snag-resistant profile.
- Ball-Base Forked Tail — Action & Stability — The horizontal forked tail incorporates a small ball at the base that produces the Flush’s signature darting, side-to-side action on the jerk; the ball creates resistance and pivot point that amplifies tail movement and keeps the bait stable and tracking true between jerks.
- Matching Pectoral Fins — Balance & Presentation — Anatomically correct pectoral fins keep the Flush balanced and level in the water column for a natural, horizontal presentation; the pectoral fins prevent the bait from rolling or listing on the fall and pause — critical for a realistic baitfish profile that triggers strikes from sight-feeding bass.
- Full Anatomical Fin Detail — Pectoral fins, dorsal fin, anal fin, and forked tail fins are all present and anatomically positioned; the complete fin package produces a realistic baitfish silhouette that matches the profile of shad, bluegill, and small panfish that bass key on in clear water conditions.
- 5/0 Widegap Hook Pairing — Designed to be paired with a stout 5/0 Widegap hook for maximum hookup ratio through the weed guard; the Widegap gap geometry provides clearance for the hook point to penetrate through the split dorsal weed guard on the hookset.
- 5.2" / 8 Per Pack — 5.2-inch body matches the profile of larger shad, bluegill, and baitfish that big bass key on; 8 baits per pack provides value for a soft plastic that can be rigged weedless and fished through heavy cover.
Color Guide
- Baby Crappie — Realistic baby crappie imitation; effective around shallow cover and docks where crappie are present as forage for larger bass; natural crappie pattern triggers feeding strikes from bass keying on panfish.
- Bluegill Magic — Bluegill imitation with magic finish; effective around shallow cover, docks, and grass edges where bluegill are the primary forage; highly effective during and after the bluegill spawn when bass are aggressively feeding on bluegill.
- Watermelon Candy Magic — Watermelon base with candy magic finish; versatile clear water color effective in a wide range of conditions; watermelon tones match the natural green hues of baitfish in clear water environments.
- Green Pumpkin Juice — Green pumpkin with juice finish; one of the most versatile soft plastic colors for bass fishing; effective in clear to lightly stained water across all seasons and conditions.
- Watermelon Red Sunfish — Watermelon base with red sunfish accents; effective around shallow cover where sunfish are present as forage; red accent tones add a trigger color that stands out in clear water conditions.
Best For
- Heavy Cover & Grass Fishing — Split dorsal weed guard allows the Flush to be fished through grass, laydowns, and heavy cover that would snag a conventional soft jerkbait; the weedless profile opens up cover that other soft jerkbaits can’t effectively fish.
- Clear Water Bass — Full anatomical fin detail and realistic baitfish profile trigger strikes from sight-feeding bass in clear water; natural colorways (Baby Crappie, Bluegill Magic, Watermelon Red Sunfish) match the forage profile that clear water bass key on.
- Finesse & Jerkbait Presentations — Ball-base forked tail produces action on a standard jerk-pause retrieve; fish on a weightless or lightly weighted hook for a slow, gliding fall that triggers strikes from suspended and lethargic bass.
- Dock & Shallow Structure Fishing — Weedless rigging and realistic panfish imitation colors (Baby Crappie, Bluegill Magic) make the Flush effective around docks and shallow structure where panfish are present as forage for larger bass.
Lucky Craft Pointer 65DD SP Jerkbait
The fish are holding just a little deeper than your standard jerkbait can reach. That's exactly where the Lucky Craft Pointer 65DD SP was built to shine. DD stands for Deep Diver — and this compact 2.5" suspending jerkbait dives 5–7 feet, putting it right in the face of bass that are holding just out of reach of the original Pointer 65.
Like all Pointer models, the 65DD is engineered with a specially designed brass weight system that creates a very low center of gravity. Stop the retrieve and the bait doesn't just pause — it wobbles and vibrates in place, emitting a subtle bass-calling vibration that triggers strikes from even the most reluctant fish. A short twitch of the rod tip generates a fluid, underwater walk-the-dog action that seals the deal. With a wider wobble than the standard Pointer 65, the DD version is also a great alternative when fish want a smaller profile than the Staysee series but need the bait pushed a little deeper.
Features
- Deep Diver (DD) bill dives 5–7 feet — deeper than the standard Pointer 65
- Brass weight system creates low center of gravity for wobble-and-vibrate on pause
- Suspending design stays locked in the strike zone
- Wider wobble than the Pointer 65 for added action
- Short rod twitch generates underwater walk-the-dog action
- Compact 2.5" profile — ideal for finesse situations and pressured fish
Specs
- Length: 2.5" (6.5 cm)
- Weight: 3/16 oz (5 g)
- Depth: 5–7 ft
- Type: Suspending
Pointer Series Comparison
- Pointer 65 SP: 2.5", 3/16 oz, 4–5 ft, Suspending

- Pointer 78 SP: 3", 3/8 oz, 4–5 ft, Suspending

When bass are holding just beyond the reach of your standard jerkbait, the Lucky Craft Pointer 65DD SP gets down to their level and stays there. Small profile, deep reach, deadly action.

Tackle Express Tips
- Match jighead weight to depth and retrieve speed — Use a 1/8 oz jighead for shallow, slow presentations (under 8ft) where you want a natural, drifting fall. Move to a 1/4 oz for mid-depth (8–18ft) or when you need to cover water faster. A 2/0 hook is the right size for the 4" body — don't go too heavy or you'll kill the tail action.
- Luminous White for night fishing and low light — The Luminous White (#038) is one of the most underrated colors in the lineup — charge it with a flashlight before casting and it glows in the water, making it deadly for night bass fishing and low-light conditions. Chartreuse w/ Large Black Flake (#156) is your go-to reaction color in stained water during the day.
- The 4" is the sweet spot for walleye — The 4" Single Tail Grub on a 1/8–1/4 oz jighead is one of the most proven walleye presentations ever made. Smoke w/ Large Black Flake (#231) and Chartreuse w/ Large Green & Chartreuse Flake (#169) are top walleye colors. Drag it slowly along the bottom or use a lift-and-drop retrieve over structure.
FAQ
Q: What's the difference between the 4" and 5" Single Tail Grub?
A: The 4" is the most versatile size — compact enough for finesse jighead presentations and light trailer applications, while still large enough to attract quality fish. The 5" has more bulk and a bigger profile, making it better for larger bass, pike, and situations where you want more bulk as a spinnerbait or buzzbait trailer. Start with the 4" for most situations and move to the 5" when you want more presence in the water.
Q: What jighead size works best with the 4" Single Tail Grub?
A: A 1/8–1/4 oz round jighead is the standard starting point. Use a 1/8 oz for a slower fall in shallow water or when fish are finicky, and a 1/4–3/8 oz for deeper water or when you need to cover water faster. A 2/0 hook is the right size for the 4" body.
Q: Is the 4" Single Tail Grub good for walleye?
A: Yes — it's one of the most proven walleye jighead baits available. The 4" profile is the ideal size for walleye, and the curly tail produces action at the slow retrieve speeds walleye prefer. Smoke w/ Large Black Flake and Chartreuse w/ Large Green & Chartreuse Flake are top walleye color picks.

The "Limit Getter" That Pros Have Trusted for Decades
The Luhr Jensen Speed Trap Crankbait earned its nickname on the tournament trail — pros call it the "Limit Getter" because it covers water fast, stays in the zone, and gets bit. Whether you're burning it over shallow cover or slow-rolling it through structure, the Speed Trap's computer-controlled thin-wall construction produces maximum vibration and stays perfectly balanced at any retrieve speed. It's a search bait, a confidence bait, and a limit bait all in one.
Computer-Controlled Molding = Tournament-Winning Action
The secret to the Speed Trap is its computer-controlled molding process, which creates an ultra-thin-walled body with precise weight distribution. The result is a crankbait that produces intense, high-frequency vibration at slow speeds and stays perfectly balanced at full burn — no rolling, no blowout, no lost action. The round-bend treble hooks are positioned to maximize hookups across the bait's full range of motion.

Most crankbaits have a ceiling — push them too fast and they roll over, lose their action, and stop catching fish. The Speed Trap was specifically engineered to eliminate that problem. You can burn it as fast as you want over shallow cover and it stays true, which means you can cover more water, trigger more reaction strikes, and find fish faster than with any bait that has a speed limit.
Two Sizes, 14 Colors, One Proven Design
The Speed Trap comes in 1/8 oz (dives to 5 ft) and 1/4 oz (dives to 8 ft), giving you the flexibility to target fish at different depths with the same proven action. With 14 color options spanning shad, craw, bluegill, and perch patterns, there's a Speed Trap for every water clarity and forage situation you'll encounter.
The Right Pick If...
- You need a search bait to cover water fast on unfamiliar lakes

Tackle Express Tips
- Use it as your first cast on new water. The Speed Trap's ability to cover water fast makes it the perfect search bait when you're learning a new lake. Burn it along likely-looking structure and let the fish tell you where they are before you slow down and finesse them.
- Match color to water clarity. In clear water, go with Crystal Tennessee Shad, Near Clear Pearl Shad, or Pearl Silver Scale. In stained or off-color water, reach for Breeding Bluegill, Creek Craw, or Moss Back Craw for better contrast and visibility.
- Don't be afraid to burn it. Most anglers slow down instinctively — but the Speed Trap was built to be burned. A fast, aggressive retrieve triggers reaction strikes from fish that won't chase a slow bait, especially in warmer water.
FAQ
What's the dive depth for each size?
The 1/8 oz Speed Trap dives to approximately 5 feet, and the 1/4 oz dives to approximately 8 feet. Actual depth will vary based on line diameter, rod angle, and retrieve speed — lighter line and a lower rod tip will push the bait deeper.
Can I use this bait at high retrieve speeds without it rolling?
Yes — that's the Speed Trap's defining feature. The computer-controlled thin-wall molding and precise weight distribution keep the bait stable and tracking true at any retrieve speed, from a slow crawl to a full burn.
Which color should I start with?
If you're fishing clear water, start with Crystal Tennessee Shad or Near Clear Pearl Shad. In stained water, Breeding Bluegill or Creek Craw are proven producers. When in doubt, match the primary forage in the lake you're fishing — shad patterns in open water, craw patterns near rocky or muddy bottom.
The Ima Finesse Popper is a bite-sized lure that catches big bass. It can be popped like a traditional topwater popper with short spurts or graceful glides, but can also be walked side-to-side with ease. “It pops and spits water, walks and chugs. This bait can do it all,” says Bassmaster Elite Series pro Fred Roumbanis.

The Strike King Red Eye Shad is one of the most versatile and proven lipless crankbaits in bass fishing. Its high-pitch rattle pulls fish in from a distance — especially effective in stained or murky water where visibility is low. A lifelike vibration on the retrieve mimics injured baitfish whether you're burning it fast, slow-rolling it along the bottom, or yo-yoing it through the water column. The streamlined, lipless design casts a mile and stays snag-resistant, making it a go-to for covering water fast in any season.
Key Features
- High-pitch rattle — attracts fish from distance, especially in stained or murky water
- Lifelike vibration — mimics injured baitfish on any retrieve speed
- Versatile technique — burn, slow-roll, yo-yo, or rip through grass
- Lipless design — casts far, stays snag-resistant, fishes any depth

One Bait. Four Imitations. Year-Round Confidence.
The Ima Roumba Silent Wakebait was designed by Bassmaster Elite Angler Fred Roumbanis — and it's been on his rod year-round ever since. The Roumba creates a natural, side-to-side wobbling wake along the surface that can imitate a crawfish scooting above shallow hydrilla, a frog hopping across lily pads, a rat or mouse skittering across the surface, or a bluegill coming up to sun. No matter the lake, no matter the season, the Roumba finds a way to get bit.
The Wake That Triggers the Strike
The Roumba's unique body geometry produces a wide, rolling side-to-side wobble that pushes a visible wake across the surface on a slow, steady retrieve. That subtle surface disturbance — combined with the bait's natural profile — triggers the predatory instinct in bass holding in shallow cover. Keep the rod tip up, maintain a slow steady retrieve, and get ready for an explosive surface strike.
Why Standard Topwaters Miss Shallow Cover
Walking baits and poppers require constant rod work and don't fish well over thick grass or through tight cover. The Roumba is designed to be fished with a simple, slow steady retrieve — gliding just below the surface film and creating a wake that draws bass up from below. It's the ideal bait for situations where you need a topwater that fishes itself through the nastiest shallow cover on the lake.
Fred Roumbanis on the Roumba
"The Roumba is an extremely versatile bait that I'll have tied on at least one rod year round. No matter what lake I go to across the country I know I'll be able to get 'em good on a Roumba. The reason is simple; I can imitate several types of baitfish with this bait. It can be used as a crawfish scooting right above shallow hydrilla, a frog hoppin' around open water lily pads, a rat or mouse skitting across the surface, or a bluegill coming up to sun."
The Right Pick If...
- You're fishing over shallow aquatic grass — milfoil, hydrilla, and coontail
- You want a topwater that fishes itself with a simple slow retrieve
- You're targeting bass around boat docks, laydowns, brush piles, and standing timber
- Walking baits and poppers are too noisy or require too much rod work for the situation
- You want a year-round topwater confidence bait that imitates multiple forage types
Best Retrieve Techniques
- Slow Steady Retrieve: The bread-and-butter presentation — keep the rod tip up and reel slowly to maintain the surface wake
- Pause and Wake: Reel a few feet, pause, then resume — the pause often triggers strikes from following fish
- Over Grass: Slow retrieve just above the grass canopy — mimics a crawfish or frog moving through vegetation
- Around Structure: Cast past docks, laydowns, and timber and retrieve along the edge — bass will ambush it from the shadows
Best Conditions
- Shallow aquatic grass — milfoil, hydrilla, coontail, and lily pads
- Boat docks, laydowns, brush piles, and standing timber
- Low-light periods — early morning and late evening
- Warm water temps above 60°F when bass are shallow and feeding
- Calm to lightly rippled surface — the wake is most visible in calmer conditions
Best For
- Species: Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass
- Techniques: Wakebait, Slow Surface Retrieve, Grass Fishing, Cover Fishing
- Imitations: Crawfish, Frog, Rat/Mouse, Bluegill/Sunfish
Key Features

Tackle Express Tips
- Rod Tip Up: Keep your rod tip at 10–11 o'clock during the retrieve to keep the Roumba riding high in the surface film. Dropping the tip kills the wake action.
- Match Color to Cover: Bull Frog and Stink Bug are go-to colors over lily pads and green vegetation. Bluegill and Baby Bass shine around docks and timber. Albino is a low-light and clear-water standout.
- Don't Set Too Early: When a bass blows up on the Roumba, wait until you feel the weight of the fish before sweeping the rod. Premature hooksets are the #1 reason anglers miss fish on wakebaits.
FAQ
What makes the Roumba a "silent" wakebait?
The Roumba has no internal rattle — it relies entirely on its surface wake and profile to attract fish. This silent presentation is especially effective in clear water or when fish are pressured and spooking off noisy baits.
What rod and line setup works best?
A medium or medium-heavy 7'–7'4" casting rod with a 6:1 reel and 15–20 lb monofilament is ideal. Monofilament floats and helps keep the bait riding high in the surface film. Avoid braid — it sinks and can pull the bait under.
Can the Roumba be fished over thick grass without fouling?
Yes. The Roumba's body profile and hook placement allow it to glide over shallow grass without constantly fouling. Fish it just above the grass canopy with a slow, steady retrieve and the Owner ST-36 hooks will stay clean through most vegetation.

The Spro Rat 25 Wakebait is built for the topwater blowup every angler is chasing. Two years in development and an ICAST Best of Show winner in the hard lure category, the Rat triggers the instinctive, reaction strike that big predator fish can't pass up.
Why Big Fish Can't Leave It Alone
Fussy fish often ignore a bait that moves too clean or too predictably. The Rat's wake and kick mimic something struggling on the surface, which flips the switch from a fish watching to a fish striking. When they're actively feeding, this is the real meal deal they're looking for.
An Updated Tail for More Action
The Rat 25 carries the newer 2022 tail design, refined to kick harder and hold its action at a slower retrieve speed than earlier versions. Paired with sticky-sharp Gamakatsu hooks standard on every bait, it converts more of those explosive strikes into fish in the boat.
One Bait, Five Retrieves
The Rat isn't a one-trick bait. Bulge it along just under the surface, v-wake it on a steady retrieve, walk the dog with sharp twitches, or pop it for a more aggressive commotion, covering several presentations with one lure in the box.
The Right Pick If...
You're targeting largemouth, smallmouth, or other topwater predators and want a floating bait that draws explosive surface strikes without going oversized. At 2.5 inches and 5/16 ounce, the Rat 25 is the smallest in the lineup, ideal when forage is smaller or fish are keying in on subtler surface prey.
Best Techniques and Conditions
Works best in low light, early morning, and evening when fish move shallow to feed on top, as well as any time smaller baitfish are active near the surface. Calm water shows off the wake action most clearly, though a light chop can also draw reaction strikes.
Best For
- Largemouth and smallmouth bass hunting topwater prey
- Early morning and evening surface bites
- Bulging, v-waking, walking the dog, or popping retrieves
- Anglers who want the smallest profile in the Rat lineup for subtler forage
Key Features
- ICAST Best of Show winner in the hard lure category

Tackle Express Tips
- Size up to the Spro Rat 30, Spro Rat 40, or Spro Rat 50 when forage or target fish run larger.
- Match low light conditions, like early morning or dusk, with a natural pattern like Grey Ghost or Brown, and save brighter patterns like White for overcast or stained water.
- Slow your retrieve down in calm, clear conditions so the smaller profile and tail action stay believable rather than overpowering.
FAQ
How does the Rat 25 compare to the larger sizes?
The Rat 25 is the smallest in the lineup at 2.5 inches and 5/16 ounce, built for smaller forage and subtler topwater presentations than the Rat 30, 40, or 50.
What's different about the 2022 tail design?
It's refined to kick harder and hold its action better at slower retrieve speeds compared to the earlier tail design.
Does it come with hooks installed?
Yes, it ships rigged with sticky-sharp Gamakatsu hooks ready to fish.

The Zoom Trick Worm is one of the most versatile soft plastics ever made — a straight-tail worm with a slightly buoyant design that floats just enough to stay in the strike zone longer and produce a natural, quivering action with the slightest line movement. The buoyancy is the key: on a weightless rig, the Trick Worm sinks slowly and horizontally, hovering in the strike zone with a subtle quiver that triggers bites from bass that won’t commit to a faster-falling bait. Made from Zoom’s soft, salty plastic that bass hold on to longer. 20 per pack in 11 colors.
Key Features
- Buoyant Design — Slow Horizontal Fall & Strike Zone Hover — The Trick Worm’s slightly buoyant plastic causes it to sink slowly and horizontally on a weightless rig, hovering in the strike zone far longer than a standard sinking worm; the horizontal fall and subtle quiver on the descent trigger bites from bass that are following the bait down and committing on the pause; the buoyancy also causes the tail to float up on a wacky rig, producing the characteristic up-and-down flutter that makes wacky-rigged worms so effective.
- Straight-Tail Profile — Subtle Quivering Action — The straight tail produces a natural, subtle quivering action with the slightest line movement or current; the action is most pronounced on a weightless rig, wacky rig, and shaky head where the tail is free to move independently; the subtle action is most effective in clear water, post-frontal conditions, and when bass are pressured and won’t commit to baits with more aggressive action.
- Salty Zoom Plastic — Natural Feel, Longer Hold — Made from Zoom’s soft, salt-impregnated plastic; the salt taste triggers a natural hold response that keeps bass on the bait longer, giving you more time to detect the subtle bites that finesse presentations produce.
- Versatile Rig Compatibility — Effective weightless (Texas-rigged with no weight), wacky-rigged, on a shaky head, and on a light Texas rig; the 6.5" length is ideal for skipping under docks and overhanging cover on a weightless rig.
- 20 Per Pack — 11 Colors — Twenty worms per pack across 11 colors.

Best For
- Weightless Rig — Skipping Docks & Shallow Cover — The primary application; rig weightless on a 3/0–4/0 wide gap hook and skip under docks, overhanging trees, and shallow cover; the buoyant design produces a slow, horizontal fall that triggers strikes from bass holding tight under cover; retrieve with subtle twitches and pauses to maximize the quivering action.
- Wacky Rig — Hook through the middle of the worm on a wacky rig hook; the buoyancy causes both ends to flutter up and down on the fall, producing the characteristic wacky worm action that triggers strikes from bass at all depths; most effective on a drop from the surface to the bottom in clear water.
- Shaky Head — Thread on a shaky head jig head for a bottom-contact finesse presentation; the straight tail quivers on the shake and the buoyancy causes the tail to float up off the bottom, presenting the worm in a natural, upright position that triggers strikes from pressured bass.
- Clear Water & Post-Frontal Conditions — The Trick Worm’s subtle action is most effective when bass are finicky — in clear water where they can inspect the bait closely, and in post-frontal conditions when aggressive action turns fish off; the slow fall and subtle quiver trigger bites when more aggressive presentations fail.
Why Buy the Yamamoto Flappin' Hog Large?
The Yamamoto Flappin' Hog Large takes the proven design and action of the original Flappin' Hog and scales it up to 4.5" to attract bigger bites from bigger bass. Four types of appendages are positioned close to the body so the Large Flappin' Hog can still penetrate tight cover with ease — no fouling, no tangling, just maximum action in the strike zone. A hollow section near the tail allows for easy hook penetration and secure rigging, making it one of the most hookup-friendly large creature baits in the Yamamoto lineup. 5 per pack, 3 proven colors.
Main Use & Benefit
A 4.5-inch large-profile creature bait with four appendage types and a hollow tail section for easy hook penetration — designed for flipping and pitching into heavy cover where you need a bigger profile to attract bigger bites, without sacrificing the ability to penetrate tight cover that smaller creature baits can reach.
Problem It Solves
Large creature baits often have too many appendages spread too wide to penetrate tight cover cleanly, and their thick bodies make hook penetration difficult. The Flappin' Hog Large solves both — appendages positioned close to the body allow it to slip through heavy cover, and the hollow tail section makes hook penetration and rigging fast and secure, even on heavy flipping hooks.
Advantages
- ✅ 4.5" large profile — attracts bigger bites from bigger bass than the standard Flappin' Hog
- ✅ Four types of appendages — maximum action and disturbance in the strike zone
- ✅ Appendages positioned close to body — penetrates tight cover without fouling
- ✅ Hollow tail section — easy hook penetration and secure rigging on heavy flipping hooks
- ✅ Yamamoto soft plastic formula — natural feel, fish hold on longer
- ✅ 3 proven color options
- ✅ 5 per pack
- ⚠️ 4.5" large profile — for standard cover and finesse applications, consider the original Flappin' Hog
When to Choose It
Reach for the Flappin' Hog Large when you're targeting big bass in heavy cover and need a larger profile to attract quality fish, when you want maximum appendage action in the strike zone without sacrificing cover penetration, or when you've been fishing the standard Flappin' Hog and want to upgrade to a bigger profile to target the largest fish in the area.
Best Fishing Techniques
- Flipping & Pitching — Texas-rig on a 5/0–6/0 EWG or straight shank hook with a 1/2–3/4 oz bullet weight; the appendages kick and flutter on the fall and the hollow tail section makes hook penetration fast and secure
- Punching — rig on a 5/0–6/0 straight shank hook with a 1.5–2 oz tungsten punch weight; the close-body appendages allow it to punch through matted grass cleanly
- Jig Trailer — pin onto a 1/2–3/4 oz flipping jig for maximum bulk and appendage action on every hop; the 4.5" profile adds significant presence to a large flipping jig
- 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, fluttering presentation over hard structure
Best Conditions
- Heavy grass, matted vegetation, and thick cover where punching is required
- Docks, laydowns, brush piles, and wood cover for flipping and pitching
- Stained to murky water where a large profile with maximum action is most effective
- Warm water (summer and early fall) when big bass are buried deep in heavy cover
- Pre-spawn and spawn when large bass are holding tight to cover and structure

Tackle Express Tips
- Go heavy on the hook — The 4.5" Flappin' Hog Large needs a 5/0 or 6/0 EWG hook for the best hook gap and hookset performance. The hollow tail section makes rigging fast — push the hook point through the hollow section and out the back for a perfectly centered, weedless presentation every time.
- Green Pumpkin w/ Black Flake for most situations — Green Pumpkin w/ Black Flake (#297) is your go-to in clear to lightly stained water. Switch to Black w/ Large Blue Flake (#021) in dark or muddy water for maximum silhouette visibility, and use Watermelon Copper Flake & Orange Red Flake (#956) in clear water with a natural bottom for a more subtle, natural presentation.
- Slow the fall for bigger fish — The 4.5" profile and four appendage types create significant water resistance on the fall — use a lighter bullet weight (1/4–3/8 oz) than you'd normally use for flipping to slow the fall and give big bass more time to track and commit to the bait. Most strikes happen on the initial fall, so a slower fall means more time in the strike zone.
FAQ
Q: What's the difference between the Flappin' Hog Large and the standard Flappin' Hog?
A: The Large is a 4.5" version designed to attract bigger bites from bigger bass — it has the same four appendage types and close-body positioning as the original, but the larger profile produces more disturbance and targets quality fish in heavy cover. Choose the Large when you're specifically targeting big bass and want to upgrade your profile; use the standard Flappin' Hog for more versatile applications across a wider range of fish sizes.
Q: What hook size works best for the Flappin' Hog Large?
A: A 5/0 or 6/0 EWG hook works best for Texas rig flipping and pitching. For punching through matted grass, use a 5/0 or 6/0 straight shank hook with a 1.5–2 oz tungsten punch weight. The hollow tail section makes hook penetration fast and easy — push the hook through the hollow section for a perfectly centered, weedless presentation.
Q: How many come in a pack?
A: 5 per pack.
The Yamamoto 7" Senko is a large soft plastic stickbait for bass anglers who want a substantial profile and a simple presentation. Use it to offer more bait length than the 5- or 6-inch models, whether you are pitching a Texas rig around cover or letting a wacky rig sink through an open pocket. Each pack contains 5 baits in one selected color.
Why choose the 7-inch Senko?
- Large stickbait profile: A deliberate step up in size when you want a bigger offering; it does not guarantee bigger fish.
- Salt-impregnated body: Supports a weightless sinking presentation with subtle movement on the fall.
- Flexible rigging: Fish it Texas rigged around cover or wacky rigged where an exposed hook is practical.

Match the size to your fishing
Choose the 7-inch model when profile size is part of your plan, rather than assuming a bigger worm is always better. If bass follow without committing or you want a smaller offering, compare the 6-inch Senko. Check your rod's lure-weight rating against the complete rig, and choose a hook with enough gap to clear the thick plastic.
Green Pumpkin Black Flake and Watermelon Black Flake are natural-color starting points. Black with Large Blue Flake offers a darker silhouette to try in reduced visibility, including low light. Adjust color and retrieve to what you observe rather than treating one combination as universal.
3 Tackle Express Tips
- Use a controlled casting motion. A smooth lob can place a large soft bait accurately without the abrupt acceleration that may tear it off a wacky hook. Check the bait after hard casts.
- Keep the hook gap clear. On a Texas rig, make sure the body can compress enough to expose the point. Reposition bunched plastic before fishing it again.
- Pause near the target. After the initial fall, make a short lift and let the bait settle again. This gives you a way to work an open pocket without immediately pulling the worm out of it.
Frequently asked questions
How many 7-inch Senkos come in a pack?
There are five soft baits per package, all in the selected color.
Is the 7-inch Senko only for night fishing?
No. Low light is one situation to try it, but profile size, cover, forage, and fish response matter during daylight too.
Can I wacky rig this size?
Yes. Match the hook and any ring or sleeve to the larger body, and use that presentation where an exposed hook is suitable.
Do I need an added weight?
Not always. Start weightless when you can control the fall, then add weight if depth, current, or wind requires it. Added weight changes the presentation.
