Description

Length: 4" 5/Package Target Species: Largemouth Bass Smallmouth Bass Walleye Lake Trout Northern Pike Recommended Rigging Method: Ned Jig Drop Shot Carolina Rig Jig Head Shakey Head Tokyo Rig Jig Trailer The Deputy is a versatile 4” fluke-style bait with a subtly ringed body that tapers down to a thin tail, ending in a flat flapper or whale tail. Poured with our signature floating plastic that’s slightly more elastic, this bait was built with finesse in mind and really shines on a dropshot. That floating plastic gives the Deputy a natural upward presentation, and the thin tail adds a unique undulating action that moves with the slightest twitch, or even just the water itself. While it was designed specifically for dropshotting, the Deputy’s utility doesn’t stop there. It also makes a killer finesse jig trailer, and when paired with a bladed jig, the tail swings and vibrates like it’s got a mind of its own. On a skirted jig or even a ball jig sitting on bottom, that tail stands up and waves around with just the movement of the water, perfect for tempting pressured or hesitant fish. Whether you’re targeting Smallmouth, Largemouth, or Walleye, the Deputy gets the job done when a more subtle, natural presentation is the key to getting bit. Key Features:
