Field Notes

Best worked on the surface with short pops and pauses to imitate a fleeing baitfish and trigger reaction strikes. Use around calm to lightly rippled water, especially near cover or over open water where bass can see the commotion.

Pros

  • Surface commotion draws reaction bites
  • Compact 2 7/8 inch profile
  • 1/2 oz weight casts well

Cons

  • Less effective in heavy wind or rough water
  • Treble hooks can be snag-prone around thick cover
