Description

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. Price adjustments are shown in “Type & Size” pull down and will be reflected in your Shopping Cart. *The images show the historical colors on the Jake. These color patterns will be painted on the Ernie or Li’l Ernie™ you select.

Field Notes

Designed for casting or trolling deep water ledges and open water. It works well when you want a tight-wobbling baitfish profile that can be cranked steadily or trolled at speed, especially around rocky bottoms and deeper structure.

Pros

  • Runs deep on both cast and troll
  • Tight wiggle imitates escaping baitfish
  • Durable ribbed plastic construction
  • Handles rocky bottoms well

Cons

  • Best suited to deeper water rather than shallow cover
  • Requires a crankbait-style retrieve or trolling setup
