Quick take
Imitation shrimp and small crab baits in soft plastic, designed to mimic live forage for saltwater species on light tackle.
This saltwater soft-bait bucket pairs 3-inch shrimp with 2-inch peeler crabs in four natural and bright colors. The baits arrive in scent liquid and can be returned to it to recharge. Rig them the way you would live shrimp or crab for redfish, trout and flounder, on spinning or casting gear.
Best for
- Tailing redfish and permit in shallow flats
- Snook in mangrove roots and under docks
- Tarpon and striped bass chasing live shrimp and crabs
Skip if
- Freshwater fishing; these are saltwater imitations
- Fast-moving lure fishing; these fish slowly
Strengths
- Durable soft plastic survives multiple casts and fish teeth
- Imitation of two prey items gives flexibility in your tackle box
- Gulp scent releases amino acids to attract predators
Trade-offs
- The 3-inch shrimp is large for small panfish and redfish
- Soft plastic peeler crab is less durable than hard plastic lures
- Amino acid scent dissipates faster in current than in still water

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
