Our 2.8" Lil' Bat is similar to a Z-Man TRD "Ned" style bait which has floating plastisol to keep the tail sticking straight up when drug along the bottom on our Toadstool Ned Heads. The tickle tail will slowly Twitch as the bait is drug along the bottom or erratically popped and paused. Another popular technique due to it's "minnow" prof

Smart design & sharp, clean colors
Phat Pack really has gotten their Ned bait just right with the Lil Bat. I fish Ned rigs a fair amount on my local smallmouth lake and often fish Ned trailers on my jigs too. The Lil Bat is tough, floats just enough to get the tail end above the jig head, and the colors -- especially the always 50/50 laminates -- are very clean. The fact that they're a better deal than most of the alternatives is a nice bonus. I like the pointed "stinger tail" shape of the bait. If I want something blunt, I just have to snip off the point. Ned baits aren't all that complicated but they've somehow made this one more versatile -- and at a better price -- than the others.
