Soft Plastic
SpecializedIntermediateFresh & salt
Flexible plastic bodies — worms, creature baits, swimbaits — rigged weedless or on a jig head. Slow, natural presentation that excels when fish are pressured or in cold water and won't chase anything fast.

Technique tips
- Texas-rig it weedless before pitching into grass or wood cover.
- Fish it slower than feels natural — most anglers work soft plastics too fast.
- Watch your line, not your rod tip, for the subtle "tick" of a bite.
