Description

This bait has translucent green over the back of a holographic blank, with a white belly and just a hint of hot orange under the chin. I have also added some black accents to the head area. This bait was a standout this summer in the clear water of the Central Basin, and I expect it to be awesome on Lake St. Clair as well, where the water is usually cleaner than we typically see on Erie.

Field Notes

This is a hardbait designed to imitate an emerald shiner, making it a strong choice when walleyes are feeding on baitfish. The clear-water color scheme suggests it shines in clean water and around bright conditions, especially with a steady cast-and-retrieve presentation or trolling.

Pros

  • Realistic baitfish profile
  • Holographic flash for clear water
  • Strong match-the-hatch color

Cons

  • May be less effective in dirty water
  • Hardbait can be less forgiving than soft plastics
