Description

Simon Hot Tails #22 Wounded Minnow with black scales and chrome body 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. Features Multi-Species Design: Effective for salmon, steelhead, walleye, kokanee, sockeye, and silvers. Crippled Bait Fish Action: The wounded baitfish action triggers an instinctive strike reflex in fish. Completely Sealed and Buoyant: Ensures durability and effectiveness in various fishing conditions. Ideal Applications Trolling Behind Dodgers: Achieve optimal performance when trolling behind dodgers. Trolling Behind 360 Flashers: Suitable for use behind 360 flashers for increased visibility and attraction. Back Trolling: Effective in back trolling scenarios. Worm Harness Attractor: Can be used as an attractor in worm harness setups. Anchored Up in Current: Ideal for fishing while anchored in current.

Field Notes

This is a small trolling attractor/minnow-style lure designed to be fished behind a dodger or 360 flasher, or naked in a trolling spread. It is especially useful at very slow trolling speeds and in current, where its inline roll and wounded-baitfish look can trigger strikes from salmon, steelhead, and walleye.

Pros

  • Strong wounded-minnow profile that mimics crippled baitfish
  • Rolls cleanly at very slow trolling speeds
  • Works behind dodgers, 360 flashers, or on its own

Cons

  • Requires bead stacking to keep proper spacing from bait
  • Specialized trolling presentation, not a general casting lure
