Split ShotNatural subtle glides
Description
Length
1.75" skirted minnow profile built for finesse jigheads and light-wire hooks.
Best for
Walleye and smallmouth first, with a big bonus bite from crappie, perch, and stocked trout.
Style
Solid-body “Minnah” with a compact skirt that breathes on pauses and starts up at slow speeds.
Where it shines
Edges, current seams, and pressured water where you need a tight profile that still looks alive.
Quick rule: if it starts rolling, you’re moving it too fast or your jig is too light for the flow. Thread it straight, pinch the collar tight, and give it a half-second “hang” every few turns—most bites show up on that pause.
Top 3 ways we fish it
Finesse minnow with built-in “breath”
Jig & Swim (slow roll)
Cover water without losing control
Match it to a light jighead and keep the retrieve just fast enough to feel steady pressure.
Add one short pop every few feet, then immediately go back to a smooth, even swim.
When you hit grass or rock, don’t rip—ease it free and let it glide for a beat.
Vertical hover & snap
Make it look like a wounded baitfish
Drop to the level of the fish, lift 6–10 inches, then let it fall on semi-slack line.
Keep your rod tip low and watch the line for soft ticks—set the hook on “weight,” not on a tap.
On tough bites, switch to micro-snaps and longer pauses instead of bigger lifts.
Current seam drift / controlled swing
Rivers, spillways, and wind-driven pinch points
Cast slightly up-current, let it sink, then guide it with the rod while reeling just enough to stay connected.
As it swings, hold a steady angle and feed tiny bits of slack so it doesn’t helicopter.
Finish with a short lift near the end of the drift—bites often happen as it rises.
Pour & profile: Solid-body skirted minnow made to start up on slow retrieves and stay stable when you guide it through seams.
Made for: Finesse jigheads, vertical presentations, and controlled drifts—especially when walleye or smallmouth want smaller meals.
