Description

I currently am waiting on an order to have these in stock. I am going to list them as available but please know that I may have to ship your order in two pieces if the Ugly Freds come in late. Demand has been much higher for these than I expected. This guy is a little on the strange side when you think about looks but he loves to fish. I think when they designed this lure they kind of had the Angler fish in mind and it works out to be a really fantastic wake bait. At just under 4" and weighing in a 1.1 ounces this is a very easy lure to fish with and does not require heavy duty equipment. Although on the smaller side in length the large head creates a lot of disturbance in the water. If you want a wake bait that really wakes this is it! 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. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or need something in a hurry.

Field Notes

This is a wake bait designed to be retrieved just under the surface so it leaves a strong wake and disturbance. It is best fished with a steady retrieve over open water, around cover edges, or anytime fish are feeding near the surface. The large head and surface commotion make it a good choice when you want fish to track the lure by vibration and wake.

Pros

  • Strong surface disturbance and wake
  • Easy to fish without heavy-duty gear
  • Hand-painted finish

Cons

  • Likely best on a steady retrieve rather than versatile presentations
  • Surface bait can be less effective in heavy wind or rough water
