Field Notes

Cast into surf and work the lure with a steady retrieve to trigger its wobbling roll action and flashes. Use when sea bass are feeding on baitfish in open surf conditions; vary retrieve speed to keep it in the strike zone as it sinks.

Pros

  • Flat-side design creates flashes during wobbling roll action
  • Sinking model helps reach fish holding deeper in the surf

Cons

  • Sinking lures can snag more easily in heavy structure/weed
  • Requires tuning retrieve speed to match how fast fish are feeding
