Field Notes

Use this wakebait on the surface or just under it to imitate a fleeing baitfish. It’s effective on steady retrieves, especially when you want an erratic side-to-side wake and flash to trigger reaction strikes. Best around calm to lightly rippled water, cover edges, and low-light periods.

Pros

  • Single-jointed body creates a realistic waking action
  • Vertical bill adds erratic side-to-side movement
  • Can be fished fast or dead slow

Cons

  • Treble hooks and surface action can make it less ideal in heavy vegetation
  • May require a steady retrieve to keep the wake consistent
