TSUYOKI Baby Deraball Swimbait, 60mm Soft Plastic with Treble Hook
TSUYOKI Baby Deraball Swimbait, 60mm Soft Plastic with Treble Hook
The Baby Deraball is a compact, fat-bodied soft plastic swimbait built to put out a lot of vibration for its size. The rounded body pushes water on the retrieve while the paddle tail kicks hard even at slow speeds, and the belly-mounted treble hook is already rigged and ready to fish. Molded-in eyes and a mottled shad pattern give it a baitfish profile bass key in on.
This is a search bait for covering water fast around docks, laydowns, and grass edges where largemouth and smallmouth hold tight to cover. Fish it on a steady retrieve or slow-roll it just under the surface for a subtle wobble that draws reaction strikes from fish keyed on shad or baitfish.

How to fish it
- Cast past visible cover like docks, laydowns, or grass edges and let the bait settle for a second before starting the retrieve.
- Use a steady, moderate retrieve to keep the paddle tail thumping and the body tracking true just under the surface.
- Slow down through likely holding zones and let the swimbait glide, then resume the retrieve to trigger reaction bites.
- Pause briefly after any bump against cover to let the bait hang before continuing, since this often draws a strike.
Frequently asked
The 60mm, 10g size is built for everyday largemouth and smallmouth fishing and works well on spinning or light casting gear.
Lighter, more translucent patterns with flash work best in clear water, while bolder, higher-contrast patterns like the shad color shown here show up better in stained or off-color water.
A medium-power spinning or casting rod with 8 to 12 lb fluorocarbon or braid to a fluorocarbon leader gives good feel and hookset power for this size swimbait.
It shines during spring and fall when bass are actively feeding on baitfish and shad in the shallows, and it also works well around summer docks and grass in low light.
