The Magictail Soft Bird is a surface attractor designed to add an extra layer of splash, disturbance, and lifelike movement to any trolling spread. Run it solo ahead of your favorite trolling lure or build it into a custom daisy chain — either way, it mimics distressed baitfish on the surface and draws tuna, mahi, and wahoo from distance.

How to Fish It
Rig the soft bird 18–24" ahead of your primary trolling lure on the same leader. The bird rides the surface and creates a splash trail that draws fish up from depth. For daisy chains, alternate birds and lures at 12–18" intervals for maximum attraction. Mix colors to match local baitfish or use high-contrast colors like Rainbow and Purple in deep blue water to maximize visibility.
