Fish Magnet GOOBUM 4.5" Soft Bait

The Fish Magnet GOOBUM 4.5" Soft Bait is a next-generation JDM wide-body soft bait designed by Takuma Hata for targeting bass in the middle of the water column. Built with a unique body shape, knife tail, fork tail, and side arms, the GOOBUM creates a strong multi-layered vibration and lifelike presence with very little movement.

Unlike a standard worm, swimbait, or creature bait, the GOOBUM is designed to move with a wide, complex action that stands out in open water. Every appendage grabs water, helping the bait come alive on a simple steady retrieve, subtle rod movement, jig-stroke presentation, or weightless setup.

Designed for Mid-Water Bass

The GOOBUM was developed around the modern trend of bass feeding on baitfish in the middle of the water column. Its wide profile and active appendages make it a strong option when fish are suspended, chasing bait, or following traditional soft plastics without committing.

Knife Tail, Fork Tail & Side Arm Action

The GOOBUM’s distinctive body design gives it a different underwater presence than most soft baits. The knife tail, fork tail, and side arms all catch water independently, creating vibration, flash-like movement, and a lifelike action that can trigger reaction bites from pressured bass.

Lower Chamber for Custom Rigging

The lower belly section can be used to insert rattles or nail weights, giving anglers the ability to adjust sound, fall rate, balance, and action. When fished weightless, the lower section also acts as a brake and stabilizer to help the bait maintain a steady posture without unwanted wobble.

Versatile Rigging Options

The Fish Magnet GOOBUM can be fished on a no-sinker offset hook, bladed hook setup, jig-stroke rig, or other creative soft bait presentations. It is especially useful for anglers fishing open water, suspended fish, forward-facing sonar targets, grass edges, brush, docks, and clear to stained water where a unique profile can make a difference.
