Details & Features
Holoshift Flash. Game-Changing Action.
The Tournament Series Big Softy takes PavLures’ proven suspension bait and upgrades it with a dynamic “Holoshift” flash for unmatched realism. Compact at 3 inches, this bait combines a wobble-fall action with holographic detailing and premium Gamakatsu hooks. Available in both sinker and floater versions, it’s built to fool pressured inshore predators like speckled trout and redfish when subtle flash and hang time make the difference.
Key Features
-
Wobble-Fall Action — Side-to-side shimmy on slack line mimics dying baitfish.
-
Holoshift Flash — Unique internal effect delivers vibrant, 3D color-shifting flash underwater.
-
Premium Hardware — Outfitted with razor-sharp Gamakatsu black nickel treble hooks.
-
Two Buoyancy Options —
-
Sinker: 18 g, sinks ~1 ft/sec.
-
Floater: 17 g, slower sink for extended strike-zone coverage (ID marked with red dot or gill).
-
-
Durable Build — Soft plastic body withstands multiple strikes and long sessions.
-
Compact Casting Power — Dense 3-inch profile casts long distances with precision.
