A bright, fluorescent soft dough bait molded by hand around a treble hook, buoyant enough to float just off the bottom. A staple for stocked trout in lakes and ponds, where its scent and color do most of the work.

Technique tips
- Add a small split shot above it so it floats up off silt and weeds instead of sinking into them.
- Mold it firmly and completely around the hook — a loose wad falls off on the cast or the first nibble.
- Save it for stocked trout water — hatchery fish are conditioned to the scent and color in a way wild fish aren't.
