Overview
Built for anglers targeting larger bass, this jerkbait pairs a slender shad-shaped profile with a retrieve that creates an underwater “walk the dog” action. Its internal brass weights are designed to help it suspend and wobble on the pause, giving fish another chance to commit when they hesitate. Three treble hooks and a range of custom colors round out a presentation aimed at covering clear, pressured water or any situation where a subtle pause-and-twitch approach is called for. It is the largest model in the Pointer Minnow family, so it suits anglers looking for a bigger profile without changing the core action that defines the series.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- At 6-1/4 inches and 1-1/16 oz., this is the largest Pointer Minnow in the line, so it is aimed at anglers targeting bigger bass rather than a compact finesse profile.
- Its action is built around a jerkbait retrieve with a pronounced pause-and-wobble response, so it is less of a simple steady-retrieve bait and more of a technique-specific option.
- The listed running depth of 4-5 ft. places it in a defined shallow-to-mid range, which may not suit situations that call for deeper coverage.
- It comes with three treble hooks, which adds hookup potential but also means more points to manage during casting, landing, and unhooking.
