History/Overview: The first Castaic Soft Bait Trout came out in September of 1996. Since then there have been four versions of the baits produced, all of which are very similar in size and action.

The first generation bait is pictured at the top left above.  These generation one baits had a foam head and the tails were a three part pour that was given a pink stripe with dippin dye.  The front fins were glued on by hand, and the eyes of the baits were doll eyes.  These baits came in a plastic baggie with a cardboard hanger.
