Description

This bait has a translucent purple belly, white in the center, with chartreuse on top. It also has a hint of orange on the cheeks and black on the head. This bait has been extremely strong this spring on Erie and LSC. Both this one and the chrome version. My buddy Tim Johns came up with the name "Purple Passion". He was certainly passionate about using it after seeing it work!

Field Notes

This is a walleye jerkbait-style lure that’s being used effectively on Erie and Lake St. Clair, especially in spring. It’s a good choice for casting and working with pauses over open water when walleyes are feeding shallow or roaming. The translucent purple, white, chartreuse, orange, and black color pattern is well suited to stained water and low-light conditions.

Pros

  • Strong spring producer on Erie and Lake St. Clair
  • High-contrast color pattern for visibility
  • Good for casting and pause-and-retrieve presentations

Cons

  • Likely less effective in very clear water when fish are pressured
  • Jerkbait presentation can require active rod work and timing
