Overview

Built for anglers targeting fish holding in the 6-8 ft. zone, this floating jointed minnow combines a balsa core with a durable copolymer shell to deliver lively action while standing up to use around rock, timber, and current seams. It is suited to casting or trolling when a responsive, natural-looking presentation is needed for walleye, bass, trout, and other multi-species gamefish. The detailed finish adds flash on the retrieve, and the lure is equipped with two VMC black nickel round-bend hooks.

Considerations & Trade-offs

Floating design means it stays in the upper part of the water column rather than running deep on its own, so it may not suit presentations that require a deeper dive.
The 6-8 ft. zone is the stated working range, so anglers looking for a lure outside that depth window may need a different option.
The jointed body is built for lively action, which can be more responsive than a rigid bait but may also be less subtle in very calm or heavily pressured conditions.
Pack quantity is 1, so stocking multiple colors or backups requires separate purchases.
