Description

Named after the US Army Helicopter that was designed to attack our enemies, the Apache has a strong two-part body with six legs extending out that create a quivering action that simply attracts fish. In the water, this bait resembles a bug or small grub that bluegill and crappie love. Thread it onto a small jig for either the open or hardwater season. For an even smaller, more finesse, presentation, simply remove one of the balls of the body, clip the trailing legs, or remove the side tentacles. Dial in the best panfish plastic for your situation without ever removing the bait from your hook. As seen on Sportsman's Journal TV in the 2" length.

Field Notes

This is a small panfish plastic designed to imitate a bug or grub for bluegill and crappie. It’s meant to be threaded onto a small jig and fished with a finesse presentation in open water or through the ice. You can trim the body or legs to fine-tune the profile when fish want something smaller.

Pros

  • Versatile finesse profile for bluegill and crappie
  • Can be modified to match fish mood
  • Works for open water and hardwater use

Cons

  • Very small size may be hard to rig for some anglers
  • Best suited to panfish rather than larger species
