Small Profile. Big Strikes.

The PavLures Big Softy is a 3-inch suspension bait designed for inshore saltwater fishing. Known for its subtle wobble-fall action, the Big Softy provokes strikes from neutral or pressured fish, especially speckled trout and redfish. Available in sinker and floater models, each lure comes pre-rigged with Gamakatsu black nickel treble hooks for unmatched reliability.


Key Features
  • Signature Wobble-Fall Action — Side-to-side shimmy on slack line mimics struggling baitfish.

  • Two Buoyancy Options

    • Sinker: 18 g, sinks ~1 ft/sec.

    • Floater: 17 g, slower fall for extended strike-zone coverage.

  • Premium Gamakatsu Hooks — Razor-sharp black nickel trebles included.

  • Tournament Upgrade Available — Holoshift internal flash creates lifelike, color-shifting realism.

  • Compact Casting Power — Small but dense body enables long, accurate casts in windy conditions.

  • Durable Build — Holds up through multiple catches without breaking down.

Best Use & Conditions
  • Oyster beds, muddy bottoms, and drains where baitfish congregate.

  • Grass edges and windblown points, working lures just above cover.

  • Situations with pressured fish — subtle shimmy excels when fish are wary.


Rigging & Tips
  • Count-Down Twitch: Let sink to depth, twitch twice, pause, and watch the line for hits.

  • Slow Roll: Retrieve steadily just above grass tips; stop to trigger wobble strikes.

  • Gear Suggestions: Medium/fast rod, 8–12 lb fluorocarbon, or braid with fluoro leader.

  • Floater ID: Red dot near the eye or red gill marking distinguishes it from the sinker.

  • Important Note: The “Floater” is not the same as the “True Floater” model, which works more like a topwater bait.
