Description

Third from the top. Jointed fishing lures are the PED version of our straight model baits, they are considered effective because of their hinged action while in use. While our straight model lures offer consistent tight wiggle and wide wander while trolling, jointed models excel at mimicking the serpentine movement of injured or fleeing bait fish, which can trigger aggressive strikes from muskies. Add some to your arsenal and find out.

Field Notes

A large jointed bait built to imitate injured or fleeing baitfish, especially for muskies and pike. It’s best worked with steady retrieves or trolling to show off the hinged, serpentine action that can trigger aggressive strikes. The black pike pattern is a strong low-light or stained-water option, but it can also be fished in clearer water when fish are keyed on larger forage.

Pros

  • Jointed body creates a natural serpentine swimming action
  • Large 12-inch profile targets trophy fish
  • Effective for trolling or steady retrieves

Cons

  • Big profile may be too much for smaller fish
  • Likely requires heavy tackle and experience to fish well
