Heddon Magnum Hellbender

Why these fit

For trolling suspending fish over deep structure in winter, a deep-diving crankbait is the strongest match from the retrieved set. The Heddon Magnum Hellbender is built to get very deep and work along steep banks and structure, which is useful when fish are holding tight to bottom or suspended near breaklines in cold water.

Technique notes

Troll it slow and steady so it stays in the strike zone longer.
Run it along steep drop-offs, points, and channel edges.
Use it where the bait or fish are relating to hard structure.
If you’re casting instead of trolling, let it dig down before starting a steady retrieve.

When to switch

Switch to a different presentation if fish are clearly suspended well off bottom, won’t commit to a crankbait, or are holding in very cold, inactive water. In those cases, a slower bait or a more vertical presentation is often better than a diving plug.
