Most soft plastic baits built for targeting black bass are patterned after creatures we assume they feed on naturally – everything from earthworms to crawdads to grubs, lizards and so on. Of course manufacturers have taken some of the profiles of their bait products to extremes, but for the most part when we’re fishing with soft plastics, we’re trying to mimic something the bass see if not everyday then quite often so we can trigger their instinct to bite.
