A large baitfish streamer for stripping along coastlines, around bait schools, and in moving water where striped bass, bluefish, tuna, and other pelagics are feeding. Best fished with active retrieves to imitate an injured mackerel or baitfish profile.

Pros

  • Realistic baitfish profile
  • Large size for big predatory fish
  • Versatile for inshore and offshore saltwater

Cons

  • May be too large for small rods or light tackle
  • Not ideal for tiny baitfish situations
