Big Softy w/o Hooks

Your Hooks. Your Way. Same Big Softy Action.

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.

• Customizable Hook Setup — Comes with split rings only, so anglers can add preferred trebles or singles.

• 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.

Specs Table

Best Use & Conditions

• Oyster beds, muddy bottoms, and drains where baitfish congregate.

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

• Custom hook setups — swap for trebles, singles, or inline hooks based on regulation or preference.

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.
