Powerful, attention-grabbing hog-style soft plastic
1. Strong Water Displacement Action Entices Bites
The BOTTLE SHRIMP, a soft-plastic bait modeled after prawns and crayfish, features two long arms reminiscent of a straight soft-plastic. While not overly aggressive, these arms effectively stir the water, creating an appealing action. Additionally, the short abdomen's six legs move delicately, mimicking feeding movements that prompt bass to bite. Furthermore, upon reaching the bottom, the arms fall slightly delayed, adding a weighted and lingering action that creates the perfect moment to strike. This is particularly effective for targeting large bass that are selective about their prey or weakened by the summer heat.
Essential shrimp and crayfish technique
June through Summer
During the post-spawn period, bass often target prawns that come into the shallows for spawning. Additionally, crayfish seeking refuge from the heat in shaded or shadowed areas may also attract bass.
From autumn onward
As autumn approaches, bass begin to prefer nutrient-rich crustaceans in preparation for their winter hibernation, increasing their feeding on these types of prey.
2. Action varies by rig setup
The action and usage differ between types where the soft-plastic and weight are integrated, and types where the soft-plastic moves independently of the weight.
Technique where the soft-plastic and weight move together
Techniques like the Texas rig and jig trailer allow the arms to follow with a slight delay to the rod work, moving more water. When touching the bottom, the weight of the arms causes the body to flex, creating a superbly lifelike appeal that entices bites.
Due to its high controllability, it's effective to use a Texas rig to tightly cast into cover on hot summer days, targeting bass hiding in the cool shadows behind cover.
Technique where the soft-plastic moves independently of the weight
Techniques like the unweighted Texas rig, nail rig, and Carolina rig allow the two arms to sway gently side to side during the fall, softly yet significantly moving the water as they descend.
When targeting bass clinging to vertical structures, it's effective to drop the rig along the structure.
3. Differentiating Use with SLEEPER CRAW
MEGABASS offers the SLEEPER CRAW as a crayfish-shaped jig. In terms of action differences, the BOTTLE SHRIMP displays a larger, more leisurely movement, while the SLEEPER CRAW mimics the quick, darting escape of real prey. Use the BOTTLE SHRIMP for bass that are less inclined to chase, and the SLEEPER CRAW for bass in an aggressive feeding mode. The BOTTLE SHRIMP, being a soft-plastic, offers the advantage of versatile action changes depending on the rig setup. On the other hand, the SLEEPER CRAW, with its concealed hook point, excels in maneuvering through dense cover.
