Quick take
A 4 inch ElaZtech soft jerkbait with split paddle tail and natural mullet scent, rigged weightless to slow-sinking.
This Electric Chicken 4 inch soft jerkbait comes five to a pack, built from ElaZtech plastic and impregnated with salt and mullet-scented gel. Its hook slot works for weedless rigging, and it can be fished weightless or on a jighead for a slow, flutter presentation. Saltwater anglers after snook or redfish and freshwater bass anglers both have a use for it.
Best for
- Twitching near inshore structure for redfish and sea trout
- Drop-shot rigs for finesse saltwater species
- Weedless rigging in shallow coastal habitat
Skip if
- You fish open-water trolling scenarios
- You need fast-sinking lures for deep jigging
Strengths
- ElaZtech material is 10X tough and recovers shape after strikes
- Natural Pro-Cure mullet scent adds sensory attraction
- Salt impregnation balances buoyancy for slow presentations
Trade-offs
- 4 inch size targets small to mid-size fish only
- Saltwater use requires regular rinsing to prevent material degradation
- Scent dissipates over time and repeated use

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.
