Quick take
Three-inch soft plastic creature baits modeled after crayfish for bass and walleye.
The Baby GOAT in Pearl is a 3-inch grub built from floating ElaZtech soft plastic, with twin paddle tails that keep moving at any retrieve speed. Anglers reach for it on finesse jigs, shakey heads, drop shots and Ned rigs. A six-pack puts several rigs' worth of baits in one package.
