Product description
This compact minnow bait is built for a tight, erratic wobble that mimics a wounded baitfish. The slim profile and diving lip give it a lively side-to-side kick on the retrieve, then a subtle roll and shimmy on the pause that often triggers a reaction strike from bass sitting tight to cover.
It works well as a searchbait around docks, laydowns, and rock edges where largemouth and smallmouth key on smaller forage. Fish it on a steady twitch-pause retrieve or a slow, wounded-baitfish crawl. The hard body and treble hooks hold up to repeated casts, making it a solid pick for anglers who want a finesse-sized jerkbait in the tackle box.
How to fish it
- Cast past visible cover such as docks, laydowns, or rock edges.
- Use a twitch-twitch-pause retrieve to trigger reaction strikes.
- Slow down and let it sit longer on the pause in cold or clear water.
- Vary retrieve speed until you find the cadence bass respond to that day.
Frequently asked
Its compact profile suits both largemouth and smallmouth, especially when bass are keyed on smaller baitfish or in finesse situations.
The red head and silver body pattern works well in clear to lightly stained water where flash and contrast draw strikes; darker or more natural patterns suit stained water.
A medium-light to medium spinning rod with 6 to 10 lb fluorocarbon or braid with a fluorocarbon leader gives good action and sensitivity.
It shines in spring and fall when bass chase smaller baitfish in shallow to mid-depth water, and works year-round as a finesse option.
