Hand carved wood construction Body length 4.75" Weight 1.8 oz. Tune retaining .035" stainless prop held by two screws "Drop-Wire" hook hanger acts as keel .063" through wire construction 2/0 Eagle Claw 774 hooks with heat shrink on rear Wolverine Triple Split Rings Description With so many choices of tailbaits on the market today, what makes the Lee Lures Mini Chopper better? Well, they are hand made from wood which allows them float better and run in rougher water. They have a "drop-wire" hook hanger for better hooking which acts as a keel. They will also run slower than most with cupped stainless blade which means bigger fish. And are guaranteed for the life of the bait. How's that for starters? The Mini Chopper is at home in flat calm water or up to two-foot waves! Keep in mind that with the design of the cupped tail blade, the bait will perform better at a slower to medium speed for optimum sound. When fish has been caught on the bait, make sure that the through-wire shaft is totally straight, and heat shrink tubing on rear hook is still intact. Sharpen hooks, and get it back in the water for your next fish! See it in action Fish caught on this bait -->

Field Notes

This is a topwater tailbait/chopper-style lure designed to run on the surface and throw sound with its cupped stainless tail blade. It’s meant to be worked at a slower to medium retrieve in calm water to light chop, and the listing says it performs best from flat calm conditions up to about two-foot waves.

Pros

  • Hand-carved wood body floats well
  • Runs in rougher water better than many tailbaits
  • Cupped stainless blade adds sound and surface disturbance
  • Through-wire construction and quality hooks

Cons

  • Best at slower to medium speed, so it is not a fast-retrieve bait
  • Topwater effectiveness depends on surface conditions and fish willingness to rise
