Mann's new Hardnose Freefall is a 'senko' style of bait that is 5" long. All Hardnose baits have a head made of a harder soft plastic that keeps the eye of your hook inside the bait (making it more weedless). It also holds your hook or weight better and minimizes tearing making the bait last longer. Another benefit is that it will not slide down and bunch up on the hook when you retrieve it through weeds, brush or reeds and by it not balling up on the hook it ensures a good, solid hookset. All Mann's Hardnose baits also have S.P.I.C.E. fish attractant added to them. The Freefall can be rigged Texas-style (with or without a bullet sinker) or rigged 'wacky'. $3.99 for a 10 pack. Colors are: black/blue flake, green pumpkin/black-green flake, green pumpkin/green-purple flake, pumpkin/flake, rootbeer/red-green flake (shown), watermelon/black-red flake, watermelon candy and watermelon/black flake.
