Product description
This slim 210mm floating minnow is built for distance. The slender body slices through the air on the cast, then settles on the surface with a subtle side-to-side wobble that mimics a fleeing baitfish. The clear and chartreuse finish lets light pass through the body while the belly flashes on the turn, giving bass a realistic silhouette from below.
Fish it with a twitch-pause retrieve over open flats, along channel edges, or across points where bass ambush baitfish at range. The long casting profile covers water fast, making it a strong choice when fish are scattered or holding just under the surface in low light.
How to fish it
- Cast well past the target area to let the bait settle before it enters the strike zone.
- Use a twitch-twitch-pause retrieve to trigger reaction strikes from following bass.
- Slow down the retrieve near cover or drop-offs where bass may be holding tight.
- Vary pause length until you find the cadence that draws consistent strikes that day.
Frequently asked
It runs on the larger side, so it works best for bass in lakes and rivers with larger forage or when targeting bigger fish willing to chase a full-size baitfish profile.
Use the clear and chartreuse pattern in clear to lightly stained water where flash and subtle color draw strikes without spooking wary bass.
A medium to medium-heavy rod with a fast tip and 12-17 lb fluorocarbon or braid with a fluorocarbon leader gives good casting distance and hook-set power.
Early morning, evening, and overcast days are ideal since bass are more likely to chase a subsurface bait across open water during low light.
