Considerations & Trade-offs
- Runs shallow by design, so it is best suited to weed beds, rocky shoals, and submerged timber rather than deeper water presentations.
- The jointed, broken-back action is meant to look erratic; that can be an advantage, but it also means a more specialized retrieve than a simple straight-running lure.
- It is equipped with three #4 treble hooks, which adds hookup potential but also means more care is needed when handling and storing it.
- At 4 1/2 in. and 5/8 oz., it offers long castability, but the compact profile may not be the right choice when a larger bait profile is preferred.
