Overview
Built for anglers who want a soft bait with a pronounced rolling action, this 6-inch minnow is designed to move with a steady, fleeing-style presentation on a straight retrieve. Its hinged tail section and shoulder flanges work together to create motion while helping slow the bait down, making it a straightforward option when a controlled retrieve is preferred. The laminated top and bottom sections with independent weighting are intended to produce a balanced roll through the water. Offered in Electric Shad and packaged five per pack, it suits situations where a subtle but active minnow profile is useful.

- Laminated top and bottom sections with independent weighting.
- 6-inch size in Electric Shad color.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The hinged tail and rolling action are built around a moving retrieve, so this bait is less suited to presentations where a subtle, dead-still profile is the priority.
- The shoulder flanges are designed to slow the bait down, which can be a benefit for control but may reduce the speed of the retrieve compared with simpler soft baits.
- The laminated top and bottom sections with independent weighting create a specific roll rate, so the action is more specialized than a general-purpose minnow bait.
- Pack size is 5, so anglers looking to stock multiple colors or cover heavy use may need to plan for additional packs.
