Field Notes

A large hard swimbait for targeting big bass around baitfish. Best worked with a steady retrieve or slow glide-style presentation near cover, points, and open-water schools. The purple gizzard shad pattern is especially useful when fish are feeding on shad or other baitfish.

Pros

  • Large profile for trophy fish
  • Realistic baitfish imitation
  • Versatile for steady retrieve or glide-style retrieves

Cons

  • Pricey
  • May be too large for average fish or light tackle
