What’s better than a hard-body? A soft one. The key to getting strikes is bait action, the key to hooking up is setting the hook while the bait is still the fish’s mouth.

Most hard-bait’s have multiple treble hooks because it doesn’t take long for a fish to realize he just bit into day-old bread. With soft-baits you not only get sexy action, but you also gain an all important second or two to hook up while the fish slurps your bait down.

In today’s show we’ll head out into the gulf to fool a few kings with rubber ribbonfish, and then venture into the flats for snook and trout.
