Field Notes

Use this lure for high-speed offshore trolling when you want a shallow-running minnow that can hold track at very fast boat speeds. It is also versatile enough for slower trolling passes when fish are keyed on bait near the upper part of the water column.

Pros

  • Tracks well at both slow and very high trolling speeds
  • Heavy-duty construction for offshore use
  • Shallow diving profile with strong side-to-side action

Cons

  • Not designed for deep trolling
  • Treble-hook minnow style can be less ideal around heavy structure
