Description

Like the Grenade the new Mini Grenade does not disappoint. Just like the big one the forward heavy tail bladed spinner was developed for deep weedlines and open water but preforms relatively weedlessly coming through shallow weeds. The Mini Grenade is 10.5 inches long and is built on .062 stainless wire. It has a triangular-shaped head in the front of the bait with two skirts, 2 - 4/0 hooks, and two No. 7 blades split-ringed to a single swivel in the rear of the bait. Over all the Mini Grenade weighs 4.5 oz. It’s designed to run deeper and stay more in the bite zone just like the bigger version with a smaller profile. The Grenade and Mini Grenade drop one foot a second when counting them down. A moderate retrieve will keep them in the same zone they were counted down to. The Grenade and Mini Grenade are great year round baits for both day time and night time fishing. Tune in to Mayhem’s 10000 Casts to see some incredible night fishing footage on both the Mini Grenade and Grenade.

Field Notes

This is a large musky-style bucktail/spinner built to be counted down and then retrieved through the strike zone. It’s designed for deep weedlines and open water, but the weedless profile also lets it come through shallow weeds. Use a moderate retrieve to keep it in the same depth band, and it can be effective for both daytime and nighttime fishing.

Pros

  • Large profile with a smaller-footprint version for more controlled presentations
  • Runs relatively weedlessly through weeds
  • Can be counted down and held in the bite zone
  • Good for both day and night fishing

Cons

  • Heavy 4.5 oz bait requires stout tackle
  • Large blades and skirt can be tiring to cast all day
  • Best suited to anglers comfortable with big musky baits
