Available in 3\" and 4\" versions, it mirrors local baitfish sizes while staying versatile across conditions. The tapered beaver-tail yields a smooth, natural swim even with subtle twitches, helping the bait track with realism. Its flat-sided silhouette is crafted for forward-facing sonar (FFS), providing strong, readable returns in both clear and stained water. Hexagonal surface pockets boost surface area to hold BaitFuel scent attractant, releasing it gradually to sustain fish interest over longer windows. A broad lineup of baitfish finishes, including albino shad, gives you visual options for different forage environments. Rigging on jig heads, swimbait heads, or trailers remains straightforward, making this a flexible tool in a practical, performance-focused lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSIZES: 3\" and 4\" options to precisely match baitfish profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eACTION: Tapered beaver-tail design delivers subtle, natural swimming motion at slow retrieves\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSONAR: Flat-sided profile enhances forward-facing sonar visibility and mimics realistic movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTEXTURE: HexTek hexagonal pockets hold BaitFuel scent attractant and release it gradually for extended strike windows\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVERSATILITY: Ideal for rigging on jig heads, swimbait rigs, or trailers for bass and multi-species predators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePerformance and Sense on the Water\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HexTek design blends motion with scent to create a convincing forage profile.
