NetBaitBF Ion 5in Watermelon Red Magic 8ct

The NetBait Ion 5-inch soft stick bait combines a proven soft plastic design with BaitFuel infusion to deliver fish-attracting scent and natural action in a compact package. Built for bass, walleye, pike, and panfish anglers who want a versatile presentation that works on drop shots, Texas rigs, or simple jig trailers, the Ion stick bait is a reliable choice for shallow to mid-depth freshwater fishing. The Watermelon Red Magic color option offers a natural profile that blends well in clear to moderately stained water, making it a solid everyday lure for both tournament and casual anglers.

What sets the Ion apart is the way BaitFuel is distributed throughout the plastic body. This additive creates a specific falling rhythm—not too fast, not too slow—that mimics natural prey and triggers strikes during the descent. As the bait falls, it releases a scent cloud that communicates to nearby fish and can help generate bites even when visibility is poor or fish are less aggressive. The subtle side-to-side wobble complements the fall rate, adding just enough action to look alive without requiring constant rod work.

This 8-count pack gives you enough baits for an extended session or to experiment with rigging techniques on the water. Whether you're flipping shallow cover, fishing a drop shot in deeper water, or working around vegetation, the Ion's 5-inch profile gives you a bait that's small enough to match forage but substantial enough to cast comfortably and attract larger fish.

How many baits are in a pack?
