About this piece
The Raid Japan Switchbait Scratch is a versatile topwater plug that blends wakebait searching power with pinpoint table-turn agility. Its thick internal body walls distribute weight for a soft landing and a wood-plug-like water displacement, while the distinctive gill cup design generates natural splash and pop sounds on the turn. Built with a reinforced 1mm glass epoxy lip, it's durable enough for aggressive casting around cover.
