Description

The 3” Flicker Minnow is the Epic Bait Molds 3” Crappie Slayer, nick-named here at SDG because this bait will produce far more than just crappie!. At 3”, its size, action, and versatility make it a powerful bait when targeting largemouth, smallmouth, spotted bass, walleye, sauger, and even big trout! Of course, crappie love it too! The body is taller than it is wide. The tail tapers and flattens to a round tip which means the bait can be fished with a subtle gliding action or a quicker erratic action imparted by the rod tip. Rigging options include (but are certainly not limited to) jig head, drop shot, damiki rig, finesse jig trailer, chatter minnow trailer, finesse bladed jig trailer, or finesse spinnerbait trailer - even a ned rig as the thin tail stands straight up and dances in the fish’s face! The possibilities are almost endless!

Field Notes

This is a versatile soft-plastic minnow-style bait for bass, walleye, sauger, trout, and crappie. It can be fished with a subtle gliding retrieve or worked more erratically with rod twitches, and it also makes a good trailer on finesse presentations like jig heads, drop shot, damiki, ned rig, or bladed jig setups.

Pros

  • Subtle glide or erratic action depending on retrieve
