So Good Baits Hand Poured 4" inch Soft Plastic "Chub"
Standalone Rigs:
How, where, and why it excels
Swimbait Jig Head (1/8–3/8 oz)
When & where: Points, outside weed edges, rip‑rap, and mid‑depth breaks.
How: Count‑down and slow‑roll; tick cover and add two quick handle pops; brief kill after a bump.
Why this rig: Slim minnow body with subtle roll reads natural at moderate speeds; garlic scent extends hold time.
Underspin (1/8–3/8 oz)
When & where: Clear–stained water, wind lanes, suspended bait over flats or brush.
How: Steady retrieve; one‑count stalls to re‑engage flash; rod‑tip down to track.
Why this rig: Blade flash + slim profile draws fish without bulky thump—excellent for smallmouth/walleye.
Weighted Swimbait Hook (3/0–4/0 • 1/16–1/4 oz)
When & where: Shallow grass lanes, wood, dock shade—weedless glide where a jig head fouls.
How: Slow‑medium retrieve; occasional rod twitches to flare body roll; kill beside targets.
Why: Weed‑friendly and natural fall; keeps the bait free through cover.
Hover (Strolling) Jig Head
When & where: Suspended smallmouth/walleye over points and channel edges with visible schools.
How: Slow glide with micro shakes; keep line semi‑slack so the bait swims in place.
Why: Presents a dying shiner with a tight quiver—deadly in clear water.
Swim Jig Trailer (1/4–3/8 oz) — situational
When & where: Grass edges, docks, wind‑blown banks.
How: Steady retrieve just ticking tops; quarter‑turn pops; one‑second kill after contact.
Why this trailer: Clean bulk and subtle roll when you want less drag than a paddle tail.
Trim & Mods (quick hits)
- Rig straight: Even a 2–3 mm kink causes roll; re‑thread until perfect.
- Speed control: Riding up? go one weight heavier. Dead feel? lighten one step.
- Scent/lock: Garlic base—refresh with gel; dot of super glue at keeper when threading.
Dial it in
- Clear (6–10+ ft): Smoke/pearl/natural backs; subtle flake; long glides.
- Stained (2–6 ft): White/dark back contrasts; brief stalls to let flash register; consider underspin.
- Low light: High‑contrast heads or glow accents; slow‑roll.
- Cold front: Downsize retrieve speed; lighter head for more hang time; avoid big sweeps.

On‑the‑Water Notes
- Covering water: 3/16–1/4 oz head; slow‑roll along rock edges and grass seams; many bites on the kill.
- Suspended bait: Underspin count‑down; steady with brief stalls to restart the blade + tail.
- Shallow cover: Weighted hook through lanes; kill beside posts and laydowns.
Species Notes
- Bass: All rigs apply. White/pearl in stain/wind; smoke/natural in clear. Add a 1‑sec kill on followers.
- Walleye: 1/8–1/4 oz jig head or underspin; slow‑roll along breaks/current seams; pause on contact.
- Pike: Same rigs with a short wire/40–60 lb fluoro leader; upsized 4/0 weighted hook around weeds.
Q&A
Q: Why pick the Chub over a larger paddletail?
A: The slim body swims clean in clear water, glides and hovers on pauses, and won’t overpower pressured fish—yet still has enough presence for walleye/pike on edges.
