Overview
Built for anglers who want a minnow-style soft bait with a pronounced rolling action, this 6-inch option is designed to move with a fleeing profile on a straight retrieve. The hinged tail section and shoulder flanges work together to slow the bait and keep it rolling, while the laminated top and bottom sections with independent weighting are intended to create a consistent rate of roll. In Pro Blue, it offers a straightforward presentation for situations where a subtle but active bait is preferred. Each pack includes five baits.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 6" profile may be more bait than you want in tight cover or when fish are keyed on smaller forage.
- Its rolling action is built into the design, so anglers looking for a subtler, less active presentation may prefer a different style of soft bait.
- The laminated sections and flanges are intended to control the roll, but that also means the bait is designed around a specific retrieve style rather than maximum versatility.
- Pack size is 5, so frequent use can move through a pack quickly.
