Overview
Built for anglers who want a soft bait with a steady, rolling action, this 7-inch minnow is designed to move with a constant fleeing profile on a straight retrieve. Its hinged tail section helps create that roll, while shoulder flanges are intended to slow the bait down and support a more controlled presentation. The laminated top and bottom sections with independent weighting are part of the design that shapes its rate of roll. Offered in Pro Blue and packaged four per pack, it suits situations where a consistent minnow-style presentation is the goal.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 7" profile may be more bait than some finesse or ultra-compact presentations call for.
- Its rolling action is built into the design, so anglers looking for a very subtle, minimal-movement minnow may want a different style.
- Pack size is 4, which keeps the purchase focused but means fewer baits per pack than some bulk options.
- The bait’s action depends on retrieve and rigging, so dialing in the right presentation may take some experimentation.
