Technique notes

Use steady retrieves with pauses, twitches, or a walk-and-pause cadence over shallow cover, weed edges, and shoreline structure. These baits are best in calm to lightly rippled water and low-light periods. Keep them high in the water column; don’t overwork them like a diving plug.

When to switch

Switch to a more aggressive prop bait, buzzbait, or soft plastic if wind picks up, fish stop showing on top, or you need more commotion and faster coverage. For muskie or pike, move to the larger floating muskie options if you want a bigger profile.
