Overview
Built for anglers who want to keep a trolling bait in the strike zone without constant speed changes, this suspending minnow is aimed at walleye and zander fishing where controlled depth matters. It is designed to run 18 to 20 feet with a tight, aggressive action, making it a practical choice for covering productive water and working turns while staying in the target layer. The Blue Shiner finish gives it a classic baitfish look, and the #4 hooks and 3/4 oz weight round out a straightforward setup for trolling applications.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- This lure is designed for trolling at 18–20 feet, so it is a depth-specific choice rather than a general-purpose minnow.
- Its suspending, neutral-buoyancy concept is aimed at maintaining running depth through turns, which may be less relevant if you fish outside that trolling style.
- The 3/4 oz profile and #4 hooks are part of the stated setup, so anglers who prefer different terminal tackle may need to match their system around it.
- The tight, aggressive action is a defined characteristic, which may not suit situations where a subtler presentation is preferred.
