Product description

This flatside minnow gives you a tight, erratic wobble that mimics a wounded baitfish trying to escape. The flat-sided body kicks out extra flash on the roll, and the diamond-scale finish throws light in every direction, making it a strong pick for largemouth and smallmouth holding near cover or suspended over structure.

Built as a shallow to mid-depth jerkbait, it works twitch-pause retrieves, steady swims, and slow rolls equally well. The through-wire hook hangers and dual treble hooks keep it connected on hard strikes. Use it around laydowns, rock edges, and grass lines when bass are keyed on baitfish.

How to fish it

Cast past cover and let the lure settle for a second before starting your retrieve.
Use sharp twitch-pause jerks to trigger reaction strikes from following bass.
Slow the retrieve near rock edges or grass lines where bass are likely to ambush.
Switch to a steady swim on warmer days when bass want a more constant profile.

Frequently asked

What size bass is this lure best suited for?

It matches typical largemouth and smallmouth forage sizes and works well for average to trophy-class bass in most freshwater lakes and rivers.

What color should I pick for stained water?

Brighter, high-contrast patterns like chartreuse or firetiger show up better in stained water, while more natural patterns work best in clear conditions.

What gear and line pair well with this jerkbait?

A medium-power spinning or casting rod with 8 to 12 lb fluorocarbon or monofilament gives good action and hookset control.

When is the best time to fish this lure?

It performs well in spring and fall when bass are actively chasing baitfish in shallow to mid-depth water.
