Revolution in fishing with soft swimbaits: here's why with LFT 145-180

It’s a highly versatile technique that allows you to cover a lot of water quickly with medium-speed retrieves, imitating a fleeing prey. On the other hand, with extremely slow retrieves, you can stimulate the predatory instinct of even the least active fish by imitating a struggling prey. By using offset hooks, some soft swimbaits are perfectly compatible for use around or even inside cover, where predators like bass and pike tend to position themselves.

Another great advantage of this category of lures is the ability to probe every layer of the water column by adding weight to the hook or the soft plastic, varying it according to the depth at which you want to fish your soft swimbait.

There is a huge range of soft swimbaits on the market, varying in shape, size, and, above all, type: from the classic flat-tailed ones, widely used, to those with a paddle tail and even true soft glide baits. Among this vast array of offerings, a soft swimbait with peculiar characteristics stands out, produced by Engine: the LFT 145 and 180 represent a kind of revolution in the category.

Created starting from the Like Fish Tail, also designed by Engine, but designed to have a greater impact and presence in the water, helping to select larger fish, they are still considered finesse lures despite their significant size.

The first thing that catches the eye is the presence of the soft lip, which helps to increase the wobbling-roll during the retrieve. Particular attention has been paid to the tail; its triangular shape manages to imitate very faithfully the natural movements of a fish, very useful in spots with very clear water.
