The CAST Nova 4.5 is a premium finesse soft plastic engineered to deliver maximum versatility and performance in high-pressure fishing conditions. Constructed with a proprietary plastic formula, the Nova 4.5 securely holds nail weights in place, preventing slippage and maintaining perfect balance throughout the retrieve. This design enhances durability and ensures a consistent, natural presentation even after multiple fish catches.

A built-in glass rattle provides subtle acoustic attraction, creating a natural sound profile that draws bites without overpowering the bait—ideal for clear water and pressured fisheries. The 4.5-inch profile mimics a wide range of forage, giving anglers a highly adaptable option across multiple finesse techniques. While it excels as a Neko rig worm, it also performs exceptionally well on shakey heads, Ned rigs, finesse jigs, chatterbait trailers, and jighead minnow presentations.

With refined movement and lifelike action on minimal rod input, the Nova 4.5 shines when targeting finicky bass that demand a precise and realistic presentation. Whether fishing forward-facing sonar situations or working bottom-contact finesse setups, this bait delivers a perfect balance of realism, subtle sound, and versatility to help anglers generate more bites when conditions are tough.
