Ernie & Lil’ Ernie™ – Historical Colors

$18.49 - $19.99
Ernie™ and Lil’ Ernie™ are lures designed for casting or trolling deep water ledges and open water. Available in 6 inch (Lil’ Ernie™) and 9 inch (Ernie™) models, this lure is proven in both freshwater and saltwater applications. The Lil’ Ernie™ dives 6 to 12 feet on the cast and up to 20 feet while trolling, Ernie dives 6 to 15 feet on a cast and up to 30 feet when trolled. The integrally molded dive lip is designed to hold up to continuous contact with rocky bottoms and the durable plastic ribbed construction holds up to the largest predatory fish. The high frequency tight wiggle mimics an escaping baitfish and allows it to be trolled at high speeds. Both sizes are surprisingly easy to crank on deep retrievals. 6″ Straight and Jointed : 1.5 ounces 9″ Straight : 3.5 ounces * Product price varies based on Style / Size.
