Description

Designed in collaboration with The Crappie Chronicles, the Clam Niku Soldier Fly mimics one of the most overlooked yet deadly forage sources beneath the ice—the soldier fly larvae. At 1.25 inches, this bait features a flattened body that creates a unique, erratic gliding action that darts side to side before pausing and naturally returning to center. That subtle pause is often when fish commit. The Soldier Fly excels when fish are pressured or neutral, offering a natural profile with movement that looks alive without excessive jigging. Built from soft, hand-injected plastic and infused with freshwater shrimp scent, it keeps fish interested longer and increases hookup opportunities.

Field Notes

Best for pressured or neutral panfish under the ice when fish want a small, natural profile. Work it with light jigging or subtle lifts so the bait can glide side to side and then pause, which is when bites are most likely. The shrimp scent helps keep fish committed longer.

Pros

  • Natural insect-larva profile
  • Erratic glide with a subtle pause
  • Shrimp scent can improve hold time

Cons

  • Small profile may not draw aggressive fish from far away
  • Most effective with a light, precise presentation
