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
Description
Link to custom color order form
Length
2" Slayer profile tuned for micro jigheads, small hooks, and light line control.
Best for
Crappie, perch, and smallmouth, with the right “snack-size” look for walleye too.
Style
Slim baitfish body with a thin tail that kicks on slow swims and glides on pauses.
Where it shines
Edges, basin roaming fish, and clear water when you need finesse without losing presence.
Don’t overwork it: the Slayer is built to “do enough” with very little input. Keep it tracking straight, use pauses as your trigger, and let the tail start up on the slowest retrieve you can stand.

Top 3 ways we fish it

Finesse minnow with a glide habit

Jig & swim (slow roll)

Cover water and stay subtle
  • Swim it on a light jighead just fast enough to keep contact and feel it track.
  • Every few feet, pause and let it glide down on controlled slack.
  • If you tick cover, don’t rip—ease it free and continue the same cadence.
That stop-and-go glide is a clean “fry panic” cue that triggers bites from followers.

Vertical hover & snap

For fish you can see but can’t convince
  • Hold it at fish level, then pop it 4–8 inches and stop immediately.
  • Let it fall on semi-slack line and watch for a sudden stop or side tick.
  • When the bite is soft, shorten the pop and lengthen the pause.
The thin tail keeps moving on the fall, so your “pause” still looks like food.

Controlled drift / swing

Current seams and wind-driven pinch points
  • Cast slightly up-current and guide the drift with light line tension.
  • Feed micro-slack on the swing to prevent spinning and keep a natural glide.
  • Finish with a short lift near the end of the drift, then let it settle.
A small baitfish drifting naturally is hard to ignore—especially when fish are pressured.
Pour & profile: Slim 2" baitfish-style plastic with a thin tail that starts up at low speeds and glides cleanly.
Made for: Micro jigheads, vertical finesse, and slow, controlled retrieves on light line.
