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

This is a glide bait designed to be worked slowly, with the best performance in the slow to moderate retrieve range. Use steady pulls and pauses to create the side-to-side glide and head kick described by the maker. It is a better choice when you want a deliberate, fish-attracting swim rather than a fast-moving bait.

Pros

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

Cons

  • Not suited for fast retrieves
  • Likely requires some experience to work effectively
