Description

This bait is 10" and 5.7oz it has swiveling hook hangers and silicone fins, it can be slow rolled or burned, twitched or even deadsticked. Comes with a set of fins and owner hardware This is a bait I've been messing with for over 8 years off and on. It started as a 13" version that I then shrunk down to the 10" size to match more of the park lake trout stockings. Its been a 3 piece with a hard tail and soft tail, different anal fins and pelvic fins. Finally with many prototypes we have ended up with this version.

Field Notes

This is a large swimbait designed to imitate bigger forage, especially stocked trout. It can be slow rolled, burned, twitched, or deadsticked, so it works for both steady retrieves and more stop-and-go presentations.

Pros

  • Large profile for big-fish forage imitation
  • Floating design allows versatile retrieve styles
  • Swiveling hook hangers and silicone fins add realism and movement

Cons

  • Large size and weight require heavy tackle
  • Premium price point
  • May be too big for average-size fish or tight cover
