Overview
Built for anglers who want to work a jerkbait deeper than standard models allow, this lure is designed to be counted down to the target zone before being ripped back through the water. Its sinking rate of nearly 0.5 feet per second gives you a controlled way to reach depth, especially when using forward-facing sonar to track the presentation. The action is intended to stay erratic as it moves, making it a practical choice for situations where a deeper-running jerkbait is needed. The Phantom Perch finish adds a natural baitfish look without changing the lure’s straightforward, depth-focused purpose.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for a sinking presentation rather than a traditional suspending jerkbait, so it may not fit every jerkbait approach.
- The lure is described as sinking nearly 0.5 feet per second, which means depth control depends on counting it down and managing retrieve timing.
- Its intended use is tied closely to forward-facing sonar and depth targeting, so it may be less relevant for anglers who prefer a more general-purpose jerkbait setup.
