Field Notes

Use this as a surface wake bait around shallow cover, especially when bass are feeding on the surface or tracking larger prey. The walk-the-dog cadence and steady wake make it effective on calm to lightly rippled water, and the realistic rat profile can trigger big strikes near banks, docks, and vegetation edges.

Pros

  • Highly realistic rat profile
  • Easy walk-the-dog action
  • Strong surface wake for drawing reaction strikes

Cons

  • Can be intimidating for beginners
  • Best results usually require calm to lightly choppy surface conditions
