Best for casting or trolling around northern reservoirs and Great Lakes forage situations where smelt are present. The suspending action and internal knock make it a good choice for paused retrieves and covering water for walleye, trout, salmon, and smallmouth bass.

  • Suspending profile helps keep fish interested on pauses
  • Weight transfer aids casting distance
  • Works for both casting and trolling

Cons

  • Shallow-dive version may not reach deeper fish
  • Can be less effective without matching smelt forage
