Description

The 4.2" Paratrooper offers great action whether you are bouncing it across the bottom on your favorite jig or can be used on a belly weighted EWG for a subtle downward hover. The wide profile almost gives that paratrooper fall to the bottom.

Field Notes

Use it on a jig or belly-weighted EWG when you want a subtle falling presentation. It is described as bouncing across the bottom or hovering downward, so it fits slow, finesse-style retrieves around bottom structure.

Pros

  • Wide profile creates a distinctive falling action
  • Works on a jig or belly-weighted hook
  • Good for subtle finesse presentations

Cons

  • No specific color or weight information provided
  • Best details suggest a bottom-oriented presentation, so it may be less effective for surface fishing
