Soft-plastics revolutionized fishing
in a way, becoming
the preferred lure
in many situations.

They’re often
the choice for
false albacore
and bonito fishing.

But the plastics aren’t always easy to cast far,
because of light weight and aerodynamics.

Long Cast Plastics Lure Company produces Albie Snax.

The soft-plastic lure is designed to fish better, including casting farther, to albies, bonito or even striped bass, when stripers forage on sand eels.

Albie Snax are fully round in cross section, perfectly streamlined for flight, and are the maximum weight, the company says.

That’s unlike other plastics that are lighter and have flattened sides.

The round body is also a perfect match for weedless hooks, and has an advantage for “skinning” the hook point, the company says.

In flat baits, the hook can only be buried once, in the perfect spot.

With a round bait, once a fish strikes, tearing the hook through the skinned spot, you slide the hook out of the bait, turn it a few degrees, and rig it again.

This can be repeated dozens of times, the company says.

Why rig weedless?

That helps the lure swim lifelike, but also prevents seaweed from fouling the hook.

The company is just as concerned with the lure’s action.

Albie Snax are equally impressive through the water as in the air, Long Cast says.

The 5-inch, ½-ounce
Albie Snax are available
in white, pink, amber and olive.

Long Cast also makes
Albie Snax Hooks, a 3/0,
screw-in, weedless hook,
built to rig the lure perfectly.
