The Salty sling is the most versatile soft plastic bait available.

"They'll eat it when they are not feeding"

Pre-Spawn & Spawn: Texas Rig Weight less & fish it around spawning areas on a 4/0 Venom wide gap worm hook. If wind won't allow for weight less, insert a 1/16 ounce Venom worm spike in the tail of the sling.

Post Spawn & Summer: Carolina Rig with a 3/4 ounce weight and a 2--3' leader with a Venom wide gap hook.

Fall & Winter: Drop shot it! Hook in the center (wacky style) on a 1/0 Venom octopus break hook with an 18" drop line & a 3/8 drop shot weight.

 Large Mouth , Small Mouth & Spotted Bass LOVE IT!

At the B.A.S.S. Elite Opener @ Lake Amistad in Del Rio, TX

A 10 pound -1 ounce Bass engulfed my 5" Watermelon /. Red Flake Salty Sling, on the very last cast! I culled out a 2 pounder and made the cut $10,000 + PAYDAY! I was screaming all the way to the Weight -In!

Thank you Venom Lures!

The "go too" lure of choice for me would be the Venom lures Skip Shad in pearl white. Partnering this with the 5/0 Death Grip Hook. The hooks ultra sharp but light wire allows for the "natural" action of the skip shad too flourish. No more spinning or twisting as that big #5/0 hook "glides" the bait through the water. This combination has worked from north to south. Good Luck.
