10-inch soft plastic fishing lures are built for anglers targeting bigger fish that are feeding on large prey. This size is most commonly used for trophy bass, pike, and musky when smaller lures fail to trigger strikes.

Large soft plastics in the 10-inch range excel when fished slowly, allowing predators time to grab the bait before committing. They are especially effective during pre-spawn, post-spawn, and warm-water periods when fish are looking for high-protein meals.
