Moondog Bait Co. 2.5" Pond Parasite

The Moondog Bait Co. 2.5" Pond Parasite is a highly detailed creature-style soft plastic designed to deliver constant movement and trigger reaction bites in both finesse and Power BFS applications.

At 2.5 inches, this bait packs an impressive amount of action into a compact profile. The forward-facing appendages twitch and pulse on the retrieve, while the rear legs come alive on the pause, kicking and flaring as the bait settles. A fully ribbed tail running all the way to the tip adds even more motion, creating vibration and water displacement that fish can’t ignore.

The Pond Parasite is extremely versatile and excels across a wide range of finesse rigs. Fish it slowly along the bottom or suspend it in the water column—either way, it maintains a natural, animated presentation that draws strikes from pressured fish.
