Field Notes

Use this when fish are feeding on baitfish near the surface or just below it. A twitch-and-pause retrieve will make the lure dart, flutter, and splash, which is effective around flats, points, and shoreline structure. Best worked with short pauses to trigger reaction strikes.

Pros

  • Floating design stays in the strike zone on pauses
  • Twitching action creates erratic baitfish movement
  • Good for reaction bites

Cons

  • Can be less effective in heavy wind or rough water
  • Treble hooks can snag cover easily
