Slim Curly by Bait Breath, soft plastic for hard rock fishing with a slow retrieve near the bottom

The Slim Curly by Bait Breath looks a lot like a goby, a minnow that lives near the bottom, evidently a victim of benthic predators, which we seek with the Hard Rock technique

What we like most about fishing with soft plastics are the multiples combinations we can play with, for each lure there is always an enormous variety of rigs and the same thing happens also with the Slim Curly by Bait Breath, we can move it slowly by the bottom, with stops and go or retrieving more regularly, caressing the seabed waiting to cross path with a hungry mouth.

Hard Rock is a technique that requires some patience, or at least little impatience, because with it we try to move slowly near the bottom, it reminds us of bass fishing with creatures or crabs, one tug after another, imagining the softie that travels with small jumps and pushes between rocks and algae. The Slim Curly by Bait Breath will let you handle gently calling the attention of nearby predators with the tail vibrations and wobbling a bit, crossing the water column when we will force it up or down as soon as we open the pick-up of the reel to release line or slowing down the recovery.

We come up with many fits for the Slim Curly by Bait Breath, some fast and uncomplicated with jig heads such as OMTD OJ1500, Decoy VJ36, OMTD OJ200, Decoy SV32 Tank Head (for the smaller model), and others a bit more elaborate The Vassallois always a perfect solution, perhaps the most popular and successful one to fish Hard Rock, then there is the Flashy Swimmer by Owner that matched with a swimming soft lure always works wonders or the Worm 217 Zero Dan by Decoy, another alternative to skim the bottom with the lead that hits the rocks and adds noise to the combo. If we fish in skinny water, we can also match it with a simple hook like the OMTD OH1600 that we can weight with the Plus Sinker by Decoy or the Tungsten Insert by Molix.

If you have not yet tried the Hard Rock technique we advise to try, depending on the type of fisherman you may get excited, it is a dive in a world opposite to surface fishing or has nothing to do with retrieving a jerkbait, the Slim Curly by Bait Breath is an excellent lure to start, and does not involve utter complications when it comes to rigging or moving it.
