Description

This bait has a black body with a random white pattern over the top and a solid black belly. On the sides it has holographic scale stickers with black dots with florescent red/orange accents on each dot. This is a new pattern that was requested by Nate Lay and I modified it slightly. I am excited to test it on Lake Erie this week.

Field Notes

This is a hard-bodied crankbait-style lure meant to be cast and retrieved. The floating bill suggests it can be worked over varying depths and around structure, with the black-and-white high-contrast pattern and red accents helping it stand out in stained water or low light. It should be a good choice for covering water on Lake Erie-style open-water presentations.

Pros

  • High-contrast pattern for visibility
  • Holographic scale flash adds attraction
  • Floating hard bait is versatile for casting and retrieve

Cons

  • No size or dive-depth info provided
  • May be less subtle in very clear water
