Overview
Built for anglers who want a minnow-style soft bait with a steady rolling action, this 6-inch option is designed to move with a fleeing profile on both straight retrieves and other presentations. The hinged tail section is intended to keep the bait rolling, while the shoulder flanges help slow its movement for a more controlled pace. Its laminated top and bottom sections with independent weighting are described as creating the intended rate of roll. Offered in Tennessee Shad and packaged 5 per pack, it fits situations where a subtle but active minnow presentation is desired.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The hinged tail and rolling action are built around movement, so it is less of a simple, subtle presentation than a standard minnow-style soft bait.
- The flanges that help slow the bait down may require a more deliberate retrieve to get the intended action.
- At 6", this is a larger profile bait and may be less suited to situations calling for a smaller presentation.
- Pack size is 5, so it may not be the most economical choice if you go through soft baits quickly.
