If you're looking to try Japanese soft lures for bass fishing, O.S.P's DoLive series is a great place to start. Different shapes create different actions and work best in different situations, so learning three basic types—stick, craw, and hog-style baits—makes choosing much easier. Here are three classic models that were available as of September 2026.
DoLive Stick 4.5in
A versatile stick bait that's easy to start with
This model combines the roles of a high-density straight worm and a stick bait. Rigged weightless, it falls with a rolling body motion while the tail swings from side to side, and when twitched it can imitate the movement of a baitfish. The 4.5-inch version comes with 7 pieces and is priced at ¥858 including tax. The TW146 Ebi Miso Black color checked here was available to add to cart at Casting.

DoLive Craw 4in
A craw-style bait inspired by shrimp and crayfish
This craw-style soft bait uses claws, feelers, and legs that each create different movements. Its action continues from the fall through contact with the bottom, making it especially useful around bottom structure and cover. The 4-inch version comes with 6 pieces and is priced at ¥858 including tax. The TW111 Camo color was available to add to cart on the product page when checked.

DoLive Beaver 3.5in
A hog-style bait built for fishing around cover
DoLive Beaver pairs a simple body with distinctive paddles that push a strong amount of water during the fall and while swimming. It's a good choice when you want to fish close to cover or create a stronger presence in the water. The 3.5-inch version comes with 6 pieces and is priced at ¥858 including tax. The Meimetsu Black Lemon color showed same-day shipping when checked.

Which type should you start with?
Choose DoLive Stick for a natural baitfish-style action, DoLive Craw when you want to imitate shrimp or crayfish, and DoLive Beaver for cover fishing or a stronger presentation. Starting with these three makes the differences between soft-lure styles much easier to understand.
