Quick take
A 5 inch soft jerkbait made of durable Elaztech with salt impregnation for added buoyancy and temptation.
A compact 3.5-inch soft jerkbait in white, weighing 1/8 ounce, from Strike King's Z-Too line. It floats and is salt-impregnated, which suits a dropshot or a light jighead for bass. A molded belly slot also lets you rig it the standard way.
Best for
- Forward-facing sonar applications with jigheads
- Drop shot rigging for jerkbait presentations
- Situations where fish are selective about soft bait
Skip if
- You want a hard jerkbait
- You need a sinking presentation
Strengths
- Elaztech material withstands repeated chomping without tearing
- Higher buoyancy allows pause-and-drop presentations
- Salt impregnation improves buoyancy and attracts fish
Trade-offs

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.
