A fluke-style plastic earns its place when you need a baitfish profile that can adapt to different depths, cover, and presentations. The Freedom Baitz Barracuda is a hand-poured soft plastic offered in 4.5-inch and 5.5-inch sizes for casting, jigging, drop-shotting, and working around fish-holding structure.

For walleye, cast or jig the Barracuda around structure and cover, or put the fluke profile on a drop shot when the situation calls for a more controlled presentation. Bass anglers can thread it onto a jig head and pitch toward structure or fish it weightless around shallow cover such as lily pads. The two available lengths make it easy to change the size of the presentation.
