10 inches in length, 80.5g, floats at rest. Our #1000 cedar lure is uniquely handcrafted, hand-painted, and action certified for exceptional quality. Its minnow-like appearance swims and flashes like a wounded fish at any depth. Drag the #1000 over fresh water drop-offs or deep weed beds to anger big summer pike and musky. AC Shiners are versatile and are perfect for both trolling and casting. There is an AC Shiner for any application. Care Instructions: Store dry and keep out of sunlight when off the water to ensure a long life for your lure. Do not store with rubber baits. Use caution when handling AC Shiners, sharp hooks mean more fish. Note: Each AC Shiner is handmade, making every lure unique, with slight variations in appearance and finish.

Field Notes

This is a large handcrafted topwater stickbait/pencil-style lure that floats at rest and is meant to imitate a wounded baitfish. Use it over drop-offs, deep weed beds, or open-water edges when targeting big predators, and work it with steady retrieves or pauses depending on the fish's mood. It can also be trolled or cast for covering water.

Pros

  • Floats at rest for topwater presentations
  • Large profile for trophy fish
  • Handcrafted and action-certified
  • Versatile for casting or trolling

Cons

  • Big bait may require heavy tackle
  • Topwater effectiveness depends on fish feeding near the surface
  • Not ideal for small-water finesse situations
