Softbaits or soft plastic baits are some of my favour- ite baits when fishing. I have been fishing with them successfully for many years, and have caught a variety of fishes on them from freshwater fishes such as giant snakeheads (toman), brown snakeheads (haruan), pea- cock bass, etc. to saltwater fishes such as snappers, grou- pers, barramundis, etc. Softbaits being soft in nature can and do get damaged during fishing trips. A fish with a good set of teeth can easily chew away a part of a softbait causing it damage. Its ok if you land the said fish. But sometimes the softbait could be damaged due to reasons with no fish in the mix. I have gotten my soft- baits damaged even before they touch water.
