PavLures Big Softy – Gamakatsu Hooks (Sinker & Floater)
Tight wobble-fall that fools pressured fish. The 3" Big Softy is a compact suspension bait built to sink with a subtle, fish-calling shimmy. Choose the Sinker (~18 g) for a faster count-down at roughly 1 ft per second, or the Floater (~17 g) for a slower drop and longer hang in the strike zone—both armed with Gamakatsu black-nickel trebles for confident hookups.
Why It Works
- ✅ Proven wobble-fall: Subtle shimmy on slack line converts lookers into biters.
- ✅ Two buoyancies: Sinker for precision countdowns; Floater sinks slower for suspending fish.
- ✅ Sharp hardware: Factory-rigged with Gamakatsu black-nickel trebles.
- ✅ Compact, long-casting: Small body & dense build reach wind-blown points and slicks.
- ✅ Easy ID: Floaters include a unique red dot near the eye or a red gill marker.
How to Fish It
- ✅ Count-down twitch: Count to depth, give two crisp twitches, then pause—watch your line.
- ✅ Slow roll: Crawl just above grass tips; stop to let the wobble trigger the bite.
- ✅ Tackle: 8–12 lb fluoro (or thin braid + fluoro leader) on a medium/fast rod.
Specs
| Model | Length | Approx. Weight | Sink Rate | Hooks | Floater ID |
| Sinker | 3" | ~18 g | ~1 ft/sec | Gamakatsu black-nickel trebles | — |
| Floater | 3" | ~17 g | Slower than Sinker | Gamakatsu black-nickel trebles | Red dot near eye or red gill |
Important Notes
- ✅ Floater vs “True Floater”: Floater sinks slowly with wobble; True Floater behaves like a topwater (no wobble-fall).
- ✅ Care: Avoid extreme heat and keep plastics off adhesive labels to prevent deformation.
- ✅ Finish: Minor paint/lighting differences may occur.
Count it down, let it wobble, and hang on.
