Overview
Built for anglers who want a soft-plastic jerkbait with a natural floating-and-diving profile, this bait is designed to draw attention during the retrieve and pause in a lifelike way at rest. It can be fished on its own or paired with a bladed swim jig, giving it flexibility for different presentations. The molded-in hook slot and dorsal fin hook pocket are intended to help reduce weed snags while supporting easier hook sets. At 4.5 inches, it offers a compact profile suited to targeting gamefish in a range of conditions.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Floats at rest and dives on the retrieve, so it is built for a specific floating/diving presentation rather than a constant-depth swim.
- The 4.5" size may be more situational depending on target species, forage size, and the rigging approach you prefer.
- Designed as a soft plastic jerkbait or bladed swim jig follower, so it is not a one-size-fits-all option for every retrieve style or cover type.
