Powerbait hollow belly soft plastics are available in 5" and 6" versions and I use them for both weedless and jig hook presentations.

The four colours that I use are:

• Tennessee shad
• Hitch
• Bone shad
• Blue gill

Weedless hook presentations

In those cases The reason for that is that they are indeed hollow and so when a barra munches on them there is little resistance in squashing the lure and exposing the weedless hook and thus enhancing the chance of a hook up.

For the 6" hollow bellies the two weedless hook set up I favor are:
6/0 Owner Flashy Swimmer
6/0 1/6 oz TT Chinlock

For the 5" hollow bellies the two weedless hook set up I favor are:
5/0 Owner Flashy Swimmer
5/0 1/6 oz TT Chinlock

For the 5"

Jig presentations

For the 6" Hollow Belly the three hooks that I rig this paddle tail soft plastic on are from top to bottom in the photo above:

• Mustard Big Game Head Size 10/0 20 gram (7/10 oz)
• Mustard TT headlock size 7/0 1/4 oz and 3/8 oz

For the 5" Hollow Belly the three hooks that I rig this paddle tail soft plastic on are from top to bottom in the photo above:

• Mustard TT headlock size 5/0 1/6 oz and 3/8 oz
