Brian Carr Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 I am new to swim baits and I like soft swim baits. I am wondering what are the best soft swim baits out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTier525 Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 6” magdraft is hard to beat. wcz citizen 6-7” catch. They will need to be rigged and tuned. Burrito’s I hear good things about - I never fished them so not sure. Wcz Battleshad 7.5 and 9” if u can find them. I mainly fish 6-7 inches baits if ur looking for bigger or trouts. Someone else will surely chime in too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BensBaits Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 My favorite is my 7.5 Battleshad. I fish it slow with some rips here and there. But also depends on what you’re trying to imitate. Trout, shad bluegills etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the definitive list right here. Magdraft for exposed hooks and the Citizen for weedless. Both are proven fish catchers with very well documented monster catches.

filthyrick Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 How often do Citizens restock? It seems like the only way to get them is black market. I've been wanting to try them for awhile now but I refuse to pay 2x retail lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maiti Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 I have a feeling that 8" hudds have caught more big fish than most other baits combined. DrewManFishing, monkeyonthemoon, alabamaswimbait and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlegg96 Posted May 4, 2023 Report Share Posted May 4, 2023 (edited) Beast Coast Creep is a good weedless option rigged on an 8/0 beast hook. $9.99 for a 2 pack 6in Magdraft is my number 1 softbait overall. 6in Magdraft freestyle is another good option. Just ordered a the Bass Mafia Daingerous swimbait to test out. Heard it can be reeled faster than the magdraft freestyle without blowing out. I have also had good luck with. Both the 5in and 6in Burritos. All of these options are readily available and affordable. I would not recommend Working Class Zero baits to someone just starting out. My experience, especially with the Citizens is the take a lot of tuning, and you must be adept at making on the water repairs to prolong the life of the bait.

alabamaswimbait Posted May 4, 2023 Report Share Posted May 4, 2023 (edited) IMO the two best soft baits of all time are the 8" Huddleston and the 3:16 Rising Son. Mickey is a tool but damn if doesn't make some good baits lol.
