Questions & Answers

Straight answers from the Squad on the Dart.

What is the Googan Baits Dart?

The Dart is a soft jerkbait that mimics a wounded or dying baitfish. With a twitch of your rod tip it darts and glides erratically in different directions, which triggers strikes from suspended bass that ignore other baits. It's infused with Slaunch Sauce scent and comes in 5", 6" and 7" sizes.

How do you rig the Dart soft jerkbait?

Rig it weightless and weedless on a Dart N' Toad Hook to slide it through grass and cover. Use a Weighted Dart Hook to fish it deeper or cast it farther. The Dart also works Texas rigged, on a Carolina rig, and as a baitfish on an underspin or A-rig.

How do you fish a soft jerkbait?

Twitch the rod tip with slack in your line so the bait darts side to side, then pause. Bass usually hit on the pause, when the bait looks wounded. Vary the rhythm of twitches and pauses until you find what the fish want, and shake it in place near cover when they're less aggressive.

Which Dart size should I buy?

The 5" Dart comes 10 per pack and is the finesse choice for clear water and smaller baitfish. The 6" comes 7 per pack and is the all-around size. The 7" comes 5 per pack and has the biggest profile for bigger bass. Every pack is a molded clamshell so the baits stay straight.

What are the best Dart colors?

Shad colors like White Pearl Shad, Green Gizzard Shad and Electric Shad match baitfish and are top picks in clear water. Green Pumpkin, Watermelon Red and Natural work well around grass. In stained water, brighter options like Pro Blue Red and Flamin' Hot are easier for bass to find.

When and where does the Dart work best?

The Dart is a great choice in the pre-spawn, summer, fall and even winter, whenever bass are suspended or feeding on baitfish. Fish it in open water, over grass, around docks, and along ledges.

How fast will my order ship?

Orders typically ship within 1–3 business days (excluding weekends and holidays), mainly via USPS, and you'll get a tracking email as soon as yours is on the way. U.S. orders over $99 ship free, and returns are free within 45 days.
