Field Notes

Best around bass feeding on bluegill or crappie imitations, especially when fish want a larger profile and a more natural glide. Work it with steady retrieves, pauses, and occasional chops to make the bait dart and swim. The slow sink/low float tuning lets you fish it over open water, around cover edges, or over submerged structure.

  • Hybrid glide action with chop and swim versatility
  • Tunable hinge pin for dialing in action
  • Ready to fish with quality hardware

  • Large profile may intimidate smaller fish
  • Premium price point
