About this piece
The Smith Catapy Soft 60 is a specialized floating hard bait designed primarily for catfish (namazu) fishing. Its non-hollow soft body provides a natural landing sound and a soft touch that triggers deep bites, while the silent design eliminates hook contact noise for reduced fish wariness.
