The Bait Fish Can’t Figure Out — But Bass Do

Meet The Thing — a fat “do-nothing” bait that somehow does it all. With a shape that looks like a minnow, frog leg, or clam, this oddball soft plastic drives bass crazy. Fish it Free, Wacky, Drop Shot, or twist-lock it into a twitch bait—no matter how you rig it, The Thing produces bites when the usual suspects get ignored.

✅ 4.1-inch fat profile for presence in the strike zone
✅ Works on Free, Wacky, Drop Shot, or Twist-Lock rigs
✅ Ambiguous design that sparks curiosity and triggers strikes
✅ 6 baits per bag so you’re stocked for long sessions
✅ Available in a wide variety of colors to match water clarity

When the bite slows down and fish are conditioned to the usual plastics, this is the lure that breaks the rules. It doesn’t matter what they think it is—minnow, frog leg, or clam—because they strike it all the same.

Grab a bag, pick your color, and let The Thing prove why doing nothing catches everything.
