Description

The Hinko is a anatomically correct clone to the Hinkle Shad, probably one of the most sought after baits on the market. And even if you can get your hands on one it will set you back a minimum of $600. Sounds like it is time to treat yourself! NOTE: Each bait is hand painted in the order they are received. I make every effort to ship the baits within 3 days of receiving the order, however during the busy season it can take up to 5 to 8 business days to ship the baits. In most cases they do ship within 3 days, I never want to make anyone wait but I do to maintain quality so it can take time sometimes.

Field Notes

This is a hard-bodied swimbait meant to imitate a large baitfish profile. It is best worked with steady retrieves or slow, deliberate pauses around open-water targets, points, and bait schools. The hand-painted finish and realistic shape make it a good choice when bass are feeding on larger forage.

Pros

  • Highly realistic baitfish profile
  • Premium hand-painted finish
  • Good for targeting big fish

Cons

  • Expensive compared with standard swimbaits
  • Likely overkill for small fish or finesse situations
