Overview

Built for anglers targeting walleye in pressured waters, this lure is designed to imitate shad with a lifelike body shape and a tight, controlled wiggle. It can be cast or trolled, and its lip helps it run at the intended depth while the suspending action keeps it in the strike zone during pauses. The through-body casting system is useful when reaching harder-to-access spots, and the clear finish offers a subdued look for matching local forage conditions.

Considerations & Trade-offs

Suspending action and precise depth control are most relevant when the retrieve is kept in the lure’s intended range; it may be less adaptable if you need a very different presentation.
The 2 11/16" size is one option in a four-size lineup, so matching local forage and water conditions may require choosing a different size.
Designed around a tight wiggle and shad profile, it is purpose-built for walleye-focused presentations rather than a broad all-purpose approach.
Quantity per pack is 1, so covering multiple setups or colors requires buying additional lures.
