Field Notes

Best for trolling or casting when you want a shallow-running minnow with a strong side-to-side wobble. It is designed to work at very slow speeds and also hold together at high-speed trolling, making it useful for covering water and targeting active fish in inshore saltwater.

Pros

  • Runs shallow at about 10-12 ft
  • Works from very slow speeds up to high-speed trolling
  • Heavy-duty construction for saltwater use

Cons

  • Not ideal when you need a deeper-diving lure
  • More specialized than a simple cast-and-retrieve plug
