Field Notes

This is a shallow-diving hard bait with a lip and weight-transfer system, built for long casts from shore and for trolling. It fits best when fish are feeding on smelt or other baitfish in northern lakes and reservoirs, especially when you want a plug that tracks shallow and can be worked steadily or trolled over cover.

Pros

  • Weight-transfer system helps with long casts
  • Shallow and deep lip options add versatility
  • Good match for baitfish-focused trout, salmon, and walleye fishing

Cons

  • Hard bait with treble hooks can snag cover
  • Shallow diver may not reach deep fish without trolling or line out
