Field Notes

This is a surface bait designed to be worked on top of the water. Use it around shallow cover, docks, or open water when fish are feeding near the surface, and retrieve it with pauses or a steady walk-style presentation depending on the bait's action. The custom paint makes it a good choice when matching local forage or triggering reaction strikes.

Pros

  • Surface presentation can draw explosive strikes
  • Custom paint and small-batch build add uniqueness
  • Good for shallow-water reaction fishing

Cons

  • Premium price point
  • Surface baits can be less effective in cold or heavily pressured conditions
