I fish soft plastics almost exclusively. I will start by saying that I am confused how a soft bait would find its way into the stomach of a striped bass. I have never reeled in a fish, or lost a fish that has taken the bait clear off the hook.
Blues are obviously a different story. If I get bit by a blue I reel in my soft bait cigar and try something else or move on.
I have never seen a soft plastic in the stomach of a bass or a blue.
