Bass Assassin Skunk Ape 4.25"

The Bass Assassin Skunk Ape is a 4.25-inch creature bait built for flipping and pitching into the cover where largemouth bass live.

Designed with vertical appendages for increased action in the water and a versatile tail that can be left solid or split, the Skunk Ape gives bass anglers the ability to adjust the bait's presentation to match the conditions.

Whether you're flipping grass, pitching around docks or working heavy cover, the Skunk Ape provides the profile and movement needed to get a bass's attention.

Built for Flipping & Pitching

The Skunk Ape is designed first and foremost as a flipping creature bait.

Its compact 4.25-inch profile makes it easy to pitch accurately into high-percentage areas while still providing enough bulk and action to attract quality fish.

Rig it Texas-style or use it as part of your favorite flipping setup and work it through the places where bass are waiting to ambush prey.

Vertical Appendages for Added Action

The Skunk Ape's vertical appendages are designed to produce plenty of movement in the water.

That added action helps the bait come alive as it falls through cover or is worked along the bottom.

It's particularly useful when flipping into vegetation and other areas where the bait may only have a short distance to get a fish's attention.

Fish the Tail Solid or Split

One of the Skunk Ape's most useful features is its versatile tail design.

Leave the tail connected for a more compact presentation or split it when you want additional separation and movement.

That gives anglers an easy way to alter the bait's action without changing to an entirely different soft plastic.

Made for Cover

The Skunk Ape is right at home around the cover that Florida bass anglers fish every day.

Use it around:

• Hydrilla
• Lily pads
• Kissimmee grass
• Reeds
• Docks
• Laydowns
• Brush
• Other heavy cover

Rigged weedless, it can be pitched and flipped into areas where exposed-hook presentations simply aren't practical.

Why Choose the Bass Assassin Skunk Ape?

The combination of a flipping-friendly profile and adjustable action is the major advantage.

The vertical appendages provide movement as the bait falls and moves through the water, while the tail gives you the option of fishing it intact or splitting it for a different presentation.

For anglers who spend their time picking apart grass, docks and other bass-holding cover, the Skunk Ape is a purpose-built soft plastic worth having rigged and ready.

Premier Tackle Take

The Bass Assassin Skunk Ape is a natural fit for Florida bass fishing.

We'd use it when flipping and pitching hydrilla, Kissimmee grass, lily pads, reeds and other heavy vegetation, as well as docks and shoreline cover.

The 4.25-inch size provides enough presence to draw attention without becoming unnecessarily bulky, and we like being able to adjust the tail depending on how much action we want from the bait.

For anglers targeting largemouth bass in heavy Florida cover, the Skunk Ape is exactly the type of creature bait we'd keep in the box.
