Description

The Proxy is a 7" alternative to the 8" KGB Crappie. This bait is best fished in the slow up to about the moderate range. It really isn't the bait you want if you are looking to move fast. The side to side motion of this bait is much different than most glide baits. It has a real nice kick with the head moving side to side very nicely. Hopefully I can start getting some swim videos listed on the page now. 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 to maintain quality so it can take time sometimes.

Field Notes

Best worked at a slow to moderate retrieve to let the bait show its side-to-side glide and head kick. Use it when bass are keyed on larger forage and you want a deliberate, high-visibility presentation rather than a fast-moving bait.

Pros

  • Distinct side-to-side glide with a pronounced head kick
  • 7-inch profile is good for targeting larger bass
  • Hand-painted finish

Cons

  • Not intended for fast retrieves
  • Large profile may be too much for pressured fish or small forage situations
