Description

This little guy is a lot of fun. lI have thrown this bait for a little more than a year and caught everything from Trout to Crappie, to Bass and even some Perch. It is a small 2 1/2" jerkbait that is so full of life in the water. It is a perfect size when the baitfish are just a bit smaller. Great in streams and rivers but don't get it wrong, it will catch fish everywhere. I hesitated to add this to the website because it is a sinking bait. A very, very slow sinking rate but it does sink. When you twitch the bait it will suspend for a few seconds but then it will start a very, very slow descent. It you are looking for a bait you can keep in the strike zone and let it sit for a bit this could be the one.

Field Notes

Use this small jerkbait when baitfish are small and fish are feeding on a compact profile. It works well with twitch-and-pause retrieves, especially when you want the bait to hover in the strike zone before slowly sinking. Good for streams, rivers, and other situations where a subtle suspending-style presentation is needed.

Pros

  • Small 2 1/2" profile matches tiny baitfish
  • Very slow sink lets it stay in the strike zone
  • Can suspend briefly after twitches
  • Versatile for bass, trout, and other species

Cons

  • Not a true suspending bait
  • Slow sink may be less ideal if you need a fast fall
