So Good Baits Hand Poured Soft Plastic 5" inch "Single Tail (ST) Grub" Bait
Use as a trailer on:
Standalone Rigs:
How, where, and why it excels
Ball / Round 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; drag‑pause across rock; add two quick handle pops after cover contact.
Why this rig: Single tail creates steady thump and body lift at slow–medium speeds—classic multi‑species getter.
Swim Jig Trailer (1/4–3/8 oz)
When & where: Grass edges, docks, wind‑blown banks.
How: Steady retrieve just ticking tops; brief kill after contact; occasional quarter‑turn pops.
Why this trailer: Adds lift and flash without overpowering the skirt; great when fish want a slimmer look.
Spinnerbait Trailer (3/8–1/2 oz)
When & where: Wind, stain, shad pushes.
How: Medium retrieve; brief stalls on cover; target shade seams and lanes.
Why: Tail thump increases lift and tracking at slower speeds—excellent draw in wind/stain.
Weighted Swimbait Hook (2/0–3/0 • 1/16–1/8 oz)
When & where: Shallow grass lanes and wood where you need weedless glide.
How: Slow‑medium retrieve with soft twitches; kill beside targets.
Why: Natural fall and clean cover navigation; preserves the curl‑tail action.
River Jig (1/16–1/8 oz) — trout/smallmouth
When & where: Seams, tailouts, and current breaks.
How: Cast quartering upstream; let it swing; add short lifts to pulse the tail; feed slack to glide.
Why: Tight curl‑tail pulse triggers trout and river smallmouth without needing speed.
Trim & Mods (quick hits)
- Tail tune: Taper tip slightly for cold water; leave full for max thump.
- Speed window: Riding up? bump head weight one size. Feels dead? 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 with subtle flake; longer glides and slower speeds.
- Stained (2–6 ft): White/dark back contrasts, black/blue, junebug; steady grind with brief stalls.
- Low light: High‑contrast heads or glow accents; slow‑roll and kill after cover bumps.
- Cold front: Tighten movements; lighten head for more hang time; avoid big sweeps.

Q&A
Q: Why pick a single‑tail over a twin‑tail or paddletail?
A: It adds lift and steady thump without excess drag, stays clean at slower speeds, and doubles as a great spinnerbait/swim‑jig trailer for wind and stain.
