Nine Lives Information
Built To Get Smoked.
Nine Lives™ material is made for anglers who want more action, more durability, and more use out of every bait.
This guide explains how to rig, store, and care for Jonah Lure Works Nine Lives™ paddle tails and soft prism jigs so they perform the way they were designed to.
Why It Works
Not just another soft plastic. Nine Lives™ is designed to survive repeated strikes while keeping the lifelike feel and movement fish commit to.
Extreme Durability
Super-stretch material helps the bait resist tearing, re-rigging damage, and repeated abuse from aggressive fish.
Full Body Action
The oversized paddle creates a wide kick, big thump, and body roll even at slower retrieve speeds.
Scent Infused
Built with DSS scent infusion, so there is no need for extra scent or flavoring before you fish it.
Rig It Right
Nine Lives™ paddle tails are made to work across multiple presentations. For best action, keep the bait straight and centered on the hook.
- ✓Works with Jonah paddle heads, barbed jig heads, chin-lock weighted hooks, and wide-gap topwater/subsurface hooks.
- ✓Use the hook slot for clean weedless rigging and better alignment.
- ✓Avoid screw-lock style jig heads and incompatible heads that twist or deform the material.
One Bait. Any Water. All Day Long.
Fish it slow sinking, topwater, subsurface, swim and bottom, or as a trailer. The flat-front design pairs with Jonah jig heads and creates extra presentation options in one bait.
Soft Prism Jig
The Soft Prism Jig combines a hard weighted slow-pitch core with a Nine Lives™ outer body for a slower fall and more time in the strike zone.
Prism Advantages
When the soft body is eventually too damaged, peel it off and keep fishing the finished hard slow-pitch jig underneath.
Storage + Care
Nine Lives™ material is different from standard plastics, so storage matters. Follow these steps to get maximum life from every bait.
Keep It Separate
Do not mix Nine Lives™ baits with other soft plastics. Store them away from other bait materials.
Use Original Packaging
For best protection against heat and deformation, keep your baits in the original package until ready to use.
Expect Natural Wear
The material may become slightly tacky after use over time. That is normal, and the bait can still be fished.
Quick Rules
- ✓Store in original packaging whenever possible.
- ✓Keep away from other plastics to avoid material reaction.
- ✓After fishing, place it back in the package, hang it on a rod, or store it somewhere it will not touch other plastics.
- ✓For Soft Prism Jigs, remove the soft body when it is too damaged and continue fishing the hard jig underneath.
