Field Notes

This is a shallow-running inshore plug designed for skinny water and long casts. Work it with steady retrieves and pauses around wade-fishing flats, edges, and other shallow feeding areas where fish are looking up or cruising. The floating version is useful when you want to keep the lure higher in the water column and avoid digging into bottom or grass.

Pros

  • Weighted for long casts
  • Floating version runs shallow for skinny water
  • Rattle adds attraction
  • Wide-bodied profile can draw larger fish

Cons

  • Not ideal when fish are holding deep
  • Treble hooks can snag in grass or cover
  • May be too buoyant for very fast currents
