Description

Li’l Ernie™ Great Lakes Series patterns were designed with trophy walleye in mind. Available in 6 inch (Li’l Ernie™) straight model, this lure is proven in both freshwater and saltwater applications. The Li’l Ernie™ dives 6 to 12 feet on the cast and up to 20 feet while trolling, Ernie dives 6 to 15 feet on a cast and up to 30 feet when trolled. The integrally molded dive lip is designed to hold up to continuous contact with rocky bottoms and the durable plastic ribbed construction holds up to the largest predatory fish. The high frequency tight wiggle mimics an escaping baitfish and allows it to be trolled at high speeds. Both sizes are surprisingly easy to crank on deep retrievals. The Great Lakes Color Series TM was designed and fine tuned over a period of two years working with professional walleye tournament anglers. If you want to “Go BIG for Pigs” in the fall, troll the Li’l Ernie for trophy walleye. * Product price varies based on Style / Size. Price adjustments are shown in “Type & Size” pull down and will be reflected in your Shopping Cart.
