With scented soft plastic baits becoming staples in the inshore fisherman’s tackle box, due principally to their effectiveness and ease of use when compared to live baits, anglers have little to complain about, save for the price. Paying $1.00 or more apiece for soft plastic shrimp and jerkbaits that last only a short time can grow tiresome, but the Big Bite Bait Company has stepped up to address that concern, offering their new line of Bio Bait saltwater soft plastics in packs of 10 for just $3.99.
Big Bite’s Bio Baits piggyback on the success of the company’s popular freshwater soft plastics, and they are loaded with naturally-derived fish attractants that are released into the water at a much higher rate than traditional soft plastics. The baits contain no fish-repelling chemicals, meaning that fish bite them and hang on.
Another edge that the Bio Baits have on many scented-soft plastics is that they won’t dry out on the hook like other biodegradable soft baits when exposed to air for a long period of time, so anglers needn’t throw away a jighead with a desiccated soft bait on it or go through the trouble (and potential laceration) of trying to saw a dried-out bait off a hook with a serrated knife.
The formula also means that the baits can be stored loose in a tackle box instead of in a zippered plastic bag.
The Bio Baits have undergone extensive testing with excellent results on all the gamefish inshore saltwater fishermen in the area pursue, and they’re available in a variety of shapes that will attract attention from flounder, speckled trout, red drum, stripers, and more.
Anglers can choose between Shrimp, Minnow, Jerk Minnow, Super Shad, and Grub styles in several sizes.
Proven inshore saltwater colors available in the line include New Penny, Rootbeer Gold, Chartreuse Shine, Electric Chicken, Baby Sea Trout, Juvenile Redfish, Pearl, and Purple Haze.
