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.

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.
