PavLures Lil' Softy Suspension Baits
Small profile. Big hang time. The Lil’ Softy is a compact, hand-poured suspension bait that sinks about a foot per second with a subtle wobble on the fall—perfect for counting down to the strike zone and hovering where fish feed. At 2.5" and roughly 1/2 oz, it casts far for its size and stays balanced on a slow pull, twitch, or straight swim.
Why It Works
- ✅ Controlled sink: ~1 ft/sec lets you “count down” to precise depths and suspend in current seams.
- ✅ Wobble-fall action: Subtle shimmy triggers reaction bites from pressured fish.
- ✅ Out-of-box sharp: Includes Gamakatsu 2X black-nickel trebles (select “no hooks” at checkout if preferred).
- ✅ Compact power: 2.5" body, ~14 g/0.5 oz weight = long casts, easy control.
- ✅ Versatile retrieve: Count down, slow roll, or twitch–pause to hang it in the strike zone.
Use-Case Playbook
- ✅ Clear water: Long casts, light twitches, longer pauses over points and grass edges.
- ✅ Wind/current: Cast up-current, count down, and sweep through ambush lanes.
- ✅ Tackle: 8–12 lb fluoro or thin braid + fluoro leader on a medium/fast rod for crisp twitches.
