Overview
Built for working shallow to medium-deep flats, this slender minnow-style crankbait is suited to anglers targeting walleye, bass, pike, and other predatory fish. It can be cranked or trolled down to nearly 12 feet, making it a practical choice when fish are holding off the bottom but not deep. The molded-in lip is designed to help it run true on the cast and during longer trolling passes, and its wide speed range adds flexibility when conditions change. With three #4 black nickel treble hooks and universally effective color patterns, it fits well in a serious tackle setup for medium-depth presentations.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for shallow to medium-deep flats, so it is not intended for deeper water applications.
- The diving range is listed as up to almost 12', which leaves less margin if fish are holding below that depth.
- Its slender minnow profile and action are geared toward walleye and bass, so it may be more specialized than a general-purpose crankbait.
- At 4.75" and 5/8 oz., it is a compact lure that may not suit anglers looking for a larger profile.
