Dstyle SVSB soft bait

Our take on the SVSB BIG 3.4

What we like about this bait is its density. It flies straight, it sinks fast and you drop it exactly where you want. And rigged backslide, it's a real little trap that glides under cover!

A dense insect, accurate on the cast, that can be rigged backslide

Density that makes casting very accurate

The SVSB BIG 3.4 is a bulky insect bait, but it doesn't cast like a light lure. Its core is made of dense material (that's the Core Shot technology), while the legs and appendages are in a lighter plastic.

So the bait stays stable in flight and the cast is very accurate. You can drop it on a dock, along the edge of vegetation or under a tree. It sinks fast, so it reaches the fishing zone right away.

Backslide rigging to get under cover

It all comes down to the hook position. Hooked through the head, the bait falls flat. Hooked at the rear, on the antennae side, it goes into backslide and glides backwards on the fall.

That glide lets you work under vegetation, under docks and in dense cover. Pair it with a TroKar TK120 Texas hook in 4/0 for a clean rig. Two rigs do the job.

• Texas rig, with the TroKar TK120 4/0
• Carolina rig, when you want to stay glued to the bottom

What about passive fish? The double tail stirs the water and triggers bites from resting bass.

On the other hand, at 10 g and 3.4 inches, this is not a finesse bait. For very wary fish, we'd go for a more compact one like the Nays BG.
