Overview
Built for anglers who want a trolling minnow that holds a neutral presentation, this lure is aimed at walleye and zander fishing where maintaining depth and line position matters. It is designed to run 18 to 20 feet with a tight, aggressive action, making it a practical choice for covering deeper water at controlled trolling speeds. The suspending setup is intended to simplify what can otherwise be a difficult custom-weighting process, especially when fishing turns or trying to keep baits in the strike zone. At 3/4 oz and fitted with #4 hooks, it offers a straightforward deep-trolling option for serious anglers working structured water.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for trolling at slower speeds while maintaining running depth, so it’s less suited to presentations where a more active retrieve is the priority.
- The 18–20 ft running range is specific to trolling conditions, so actual depth will vary with speed, line setup, and turn behavior.
- At 4.75 inches and 3/4 oz, it’s a specialized minnow profile rather than a general-purpose lure for every walleye or zander situation.
- The Sexy Shad finish is one color option, so matching local forage or low-light conditions may require a different pattern.
