Overview
Built for shallow-water presentations, this jointed hardbait is designed to move with an irregular, broken-back action that suggests a distressed minnow. It is well suited for working weed beds, rocky shoals, and submerged timber when you need a lure that can reach cover and stay in the upper part of the water column. The 3D eyes and realistic finish add to its lifelike appearance, while the long-cast design helps cover water efficiently. At 4 1/2 inches and 5/8 ounce, it offers a compact profile for anglers looking to fish shallow structure with a versatile crank or jerk presentation.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for shallow presentations, so it is not intended for deeper water where a different running depth would be more appropriate.
- The jointed, broken-back action is built to create an erratic minnow profile, which may be less suited to anglers wanting a tighter, more rigid lure action.
- Supplied with three #4 treble hooks, so hook management and storage may require a little more care than with single-hook lures.
- Pack quantity is one, which is worth noting if you want multiple backups in the same color pattern.
