Description

The Maximizer is a high float mid depth jerkbait. You can use this bait as a jerkbait, a trolling bait or just cast and retrieve. It has a fantastic action and the high float will come in handy if you happen to get hung up. Just throw some slack and wait for the bait to float back up. Isn't 100% but it sure is close. This is a 4" bait that has the attitude of a much bigger bait. I used this bait this past year with good success on both smallmouth and largemouth. It seemed to really shine in rivers and creeks. NOTE: Each bait is hand painted in the order they are received. I make every effort to ship the baits within 3 days of receiving the order, however during the busy season it can take up to 5 to 8 business days to ship the baits. In most cases they do ship within 3 days, I never want to make anyone wait but I do need to maintain quality so it can take time sometimes.

Field Notes

This is a 4-inch jerkbait with a high-float profile, so it works well for pause-and-twitch retrieves around cover or when fish are suspended. It can also be cast and retrieved or trolled, and the floating rise helps it back out of snags with slack line. The listing says it shines in rivers and creeks, making it a good choice for moving water and smallmouth-focused situations.

Pros

  • High float helps avoid hang-ups
  • Versatile: jerk, cast-and-retrieve, or troll
  • Strong option for rivers and creeks
  • 4-inch size covers both smallmouth and largemouth

Cons

  • Not a true suspending bait
  • High float may reduce hang time on pauses compared with suspending jerkbaits
  • Custom-painted bait may vary slightly from photo
