Best soft plastics as of 2020!!

[DitchPanda]

For me the soft plastic season is just getting started. That said the 3 things I've used with the most success have all been on the back of a jig. Menace grub, zoom ultravibe speed craw and zoom super chunk jr.

[whitwolf]

R.I. sweet, smallie, and Spicey beaver.

 

Zoom magnum finnese, utails, dead ringers, and magnum trick work.

 

Custom lures unlimited. Danny Joe's floating worm. 

 

Black, Red shad, Catawba, white, Black Red flake are colors I use the most.

Steve Parks (Big O, Owner of Rage Tail) favorite soft plastic is the Space Monkey.

You might want to give it a try.

 

A big fan of the Space Monkey. Texas rigged, Rage rigged, on a jig head, or as a jig trailer this bait continues to produce for me.

 

The rest of my plastics are:

 

Senkos

Keitech Swing Impacts

Rage Tail Menace

Rage Tail Craws

Rage Tail Rage Bug

Zoom Trick Worm

Z-Man has become my #1 soft plastic bait manufacturer the last 5 years mostly for the Ned rig. Zoom with the 4" Dead Ringer, 4" Curly Tail, 4" Lizard, Centipede and Finesse worm would be 2nd. Dry Creek Outfitters for their tubes. Keitech for their swimbaits. This season I'm trying out some of the X-Zone baits made here in Canada.

C'mon, guys, I told myself that I'm done buying plastics until I use up at least a half dozen or more packs.  This is not helping me stave off the urge!

 

I'm trying, this year, to have a net loss in plastics, rather than a gain.  I don't foresee it happening, though, when I see on here the countless baits that I've never tried.

Well guys.... I replaced every bait I ja e with the zoom version and the last three days have been nothing short of amazing!!! Rage tail replaced by speed craw and ultra vibe craw, drop shot robo worm by swamp crawler..... d bomb by a hog and brush hog and just nice to open up that soft plastic and see all and nothing but zoom again and well.... it feels like going home again hahaha. I'll say it again.... it's nice to try other baits but if zoom dont makeit I wont throw it

I use a lot of different brands, not really loyal to one besides with swimbaits where I’ll only really throw keitech unless it’s bigger baits then I’ll branch out more

craws- zoom z craw, paca slim, Berkeley chigger craw, strike king rage craw and rage menace if you want to call that a craw

stick baits- only use senkos

worms- strike king fat baby finesse worm for shakey heads, berkley power worm or a strike king rage worm, can’t remember the actual name of it but it’s like a senko with a rage tail

Creature- reaction innovation sweet/smallie beaver, man bear pig, strike king rage bug and space monkey, missile baits d bomb

drop shot- 3” yum dinger, strike king dream shot, jackal crosstail Shad, big bite baits smallie smasher, 3” keitech easy shiner 

ned- missile baits Ned bomb, z man trd or their craw

grubs- b fishin tackle moxi or regular grub, Kalins lunker, mogambo, and octogambo grubs
