Best ways to fish it (demo)
Swim Jig Trailer
Shallow grass, slow roll
Texas Rig
Pitching to cover
Ball Jig Head
Dragging sand or rock
Split Shot
Natural subtle glides
Best for
Crappie and big bluegill, plus finesse smallmouth, when you want a craw/bug shape that’s still easy to eat.
Style
Start-stop pressure—the flappers open on the fall and “clap” on quick hops, then settle naturally.
Where it shines
Brush, rock, and inside weed edges where fish live tight and react to compact bottom commotion.
Cadence rule: hop it once, then wait. The tail flappers do their best work as the bait settles and stops.
Top 3 ways we fish it
Bug profile with a bite-sized footprint.
Hop, Pause, Repeat
The simplest way to make the tails “clap.”
- Rig on a light jig and keep the body straight.
- Use a short hop to pop it off bottom.
- Pause long enough for it to settle completely.
Vertical Brush Pick
Work it through openings without snagging.
- Drop into holes in brush or sparse reeds.
- Lift slowly until you feel a limb, then stop and shake.
- Let it fall back in place—bites often come on the drop.
Swim-Then-Kill
Show it moving, then make it vulnerable.
- Swim it just above bottom at a slow pace.
- Every few feet, kill it and let it fall.
- Restart gently to keep the flappers working.
