Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right soft plastic for bass fishing?

Match the bait to water clarity and forage first: use natural greens, browns, and shad colors in clear water, and darker or brighter chartreuse/junebug shades in stained or muddy water. Size and profile matter too, so downsize in cold water or heavy pressure and go bigger when bass are actively feeding on shad or bluegill. Keep a few worms, creature baits, and swimbaits on hand since bass respond differently depending on season and structure.

When is the best time to fish soft plastics for bass?

Soft plastics work year-round but really shine when bass are less aggressive, like post-frontal conditions, high pressure days, or cold water in winter and early spring when a slow presentation gets more bites than reaction baits. They are also deadly in summer around docks, grass lines, and deep structure when fish are holding tight and need a bait worked slowly through cover. Basically, any time reaction baits get ignored, a soft plastic rigged right will usually still get bit.

What's the difference between rigging soft plastics Texas-style versus Carolina-style?

Texas rigging keeps the bait weedless and compact, making it ideal for fishing dense cover like grass mats, laydowns, and brush piles where you need to punch through without snagging. Carolina rigging separates the weight from the bait with a leader, letting the plastic float more naturally off bottom, which works well for covering deeper, more open structure like points, ledges, and humps. Both catch fish, so the choice comes down to the type of cover and depth you're targeting.

Does Glenmore ship soft plastics internationally, and is shipping really free?

Yes. Every order ships free with no minimum, with tracking included. We currently ship to the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and cannot accept orders from other countries at checkout. Orders to the United States and Canada typically arrive within 8 to 13 business days, and orders to the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand within 13 to 23 business days, counted from the moment you order. Most orders ship directly from our suppliers' warehouses in China, which is why those windows are longer than next-day retail. These are estimates based on typical transit times, not guarantees.
