This is a soft head lure which has many uses. Everyone likes soft lures because they feel realistic when a fish bites. Hard lures feel like a foreign object when a fish bites, but soft lures feel natural and fish will come back and continue to bite until hooked. The premium grade skirt makes this lure swim and will be very durable. Most people put this soft head over a rigged bait which makes the bait more attractive and creates more bubbles. It will also prevent a rigged bait like a rigged ballyhoo from washing out which means your bait lasts longer and will pay for this lure the first time out. Can also be rigged as a teaser or with a hook and no bait. A must have lure on any fishing trip.
