Field Notes

Use this wake bait along the surface with a slow retrieve to create a wake, especially when fish are feeding shallow. Lower the rod tip and speed up the retrieve to make it dive slightly and vary the presentation. The listing recommends 12-15 lb fluorocarbon and a high rod tip for waking the bait.

  • Large 7-inch profile for drawing strikes
  • Hooks included
