Description

This bait is one of our top sellers! Available in two sizes, it features a durable leader. For the best results, a straight, slow to medium retrieval works best. The flaptail generates a soft sound on the surface, while the brass blade creates a pleasing plopping and ticking sound at the rear of the bait. It's an excellent choice for early mornings and evenings, and particularly effective on dark, overcast, or rainy days. Magnum - 6.5 Inch Classic - 5 Inch Weight - 2.5oz

Field Notes

Best worked with a straight, slow to medium retrieve to keep it tracking on the surface. The plopping, ticking rear blade and soft surface sound make it a strong choice for low-light periods like early morning and evening, especially when skies are dark, overcast, or rainy.

Pros

  • Surface commotion helps draw strikes from pike and musky.
  • Slow to medium retrieve is simple and effective.
  • Available in two sizes for different forage and fish sizes.

Cons

  • Can be less effective in bright, calm conditions.
  • Surface bait may get less attention in heavy chop or strong wind.
