Field Notes

Best around bass feeding on bluegill or other panfish, especially when you want a larger profile and a more natural glide. Work it with steady retrieves, pauses, and occasional chops to trigger reaction strikes around open water or cover edges.

  • Tunable hinge pin for different conditions
