Field Notes

This is a small grub-style soft bait for panfish, especially when fish want a compact profile and active movement. It works well jigged vertically through ice or worked slowly back to the boat in open water for a subtle darting presentation.

Pros

  • Compact 1.5" profile for panfish
  • Quick darting action when jigged
  • Useful in both open water and hard water

Cons

  • Requires a jig or similar rig to fish effectively
  • Small size limits use on larger predators
