The swimming action perfectly mimic crippled baitfish and have proven themselves irresistible to kokanee, sockeye, chinook, coho, steelhead, and walleye. At just over an inch long, their wounded baitfish action triggers an instinctive strike reflex that forces a response from fish. The unique shape of Hot Tails allows them to spin effortlessly inline, producing a perfect roll even at the slowest measurable trolling speeds. Designed to fish with bait, Hot Tails can be fished naked with amazing results behind a dodger or 360 flasher. *** Always stack at least two 4 mm beads behind Hot Tails. Add more if needed to ensure the lure does not hit your bait. For super slow trolling speeds use a 3 mm bead next to the lure then stack 4 mm beads behind it as needed.

The buoyant, sealed body helps it stay effective in trolling applications for salmon, steelhead, and walleye.

Pros

  • Strong wounded-baitfish roll at very slow speeds
  • Buoyant and sealed for durability
  • Works behind dodgers and 360 flashers

Cons

  • Requires bead stacking for proper spacing
  • Specialized trolling presentation, not a general-purpose lure
