Overview
Built for anglers who want a shallow-running jerkbait with a versatile presentation, this 4.5-inch, 1/2-ounce lure is suited to twitching for bass as well as trolling or casting for walleyes, salmon, and lake trout. Its action is described as steady and lifelike at a constant retrieve, then erratic and side-to-side when worked with a twitch-twitch-pause cadence, giving you two distinct ways to fish it. The Clown color adds a bold finish, while the listed dive depths of 3 feet when cranked and 10 feet when trolled help define where it fits in the water column.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Shallow-running profile limits this bait to the listed crank and troll depths, so it is not intended for deeper presentations.
- Its action is cadence-dependent; the erratic side-to-side darting is tied to a twitch-twitch-pause retrieve rather than a steady retrieve alone.
- At 4.5 inches and 1/2 ounce, it is sized for specific baitfish-style presentations and may not suit every water condition or target profile.
- The Clown color is fixed in this listing, so anglers looking for other finishes will need a different option.
