How to Pick the Right Soft Plastic for Pitching (4 Shapes You Need) Bass Fishing Video

Hey guys, Mike Iaconelli here — back out In the Shop with a good one for you.

If you’ve ever wondered which soft plastic you should actually be pitching… this video is for you.

Pitching is all about short, accurate, quiet presentations, and the soft plastic you choose plays a HUGE role in how many bites you get. In this video, I break down the 4 soft plastic shapes you need when pitching — and more importantly, when to use each one based on conditions and fish behavior.

We cover:
• Neutral-action plastics for pressured or lethargic fish
• Moderate-action craws for all-around versatility
• High-action plastics when fish are aggressive or water is dirty
• How to match plastic action to water temp, cover, and mood of the fish

I also talk about:
• Why the Beaver-style bait is so effective around cover
• When a Pit Boss-style craw is the most versatile choice
• When to step up to hog-style baits and big-action craws
• How pitching changes throughout the entire season, not just one time of year

This is one of those fundamentals that applies whether you’re flipping docks, pitching wood, punching grass, or targeting bedding fish. Get this right, and you’ll catch more bass — period.

Give these 4 shapes a try next time you’re pitching — and I promise, you’ll get more bites.

Never give up.
