Field Notes

Best worked with twitch-and-pause retrieves around baitfish schools, points, and shallow cover. The suspending profile and rattle make it useful when bass are feeding on shad in 3-6 feet of water, especially during cooler periods or when fish want a more subtle presentation.

Pros

  • Suspending action helps keep the bait in the strike zone on pauses
  • Rattle adds attraction in stained or low-light conditions
  • Compact 4-1/3 inch profile matches shad forage

Cons

  • Hook size may need to be adjusted to achieve proper suspend
  • Limited to relatively shallow running depths
