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
3.5" ribbed minnow with a thin wrist and a compact paddle tail built for quick starts.
Best for
Walleye and smallmouth when you need a small profile that still pushes water, plus crappie when fish are set up on edges.
Style
Twitch-friendly: it darts on short rod pops, then the tail pulses as it coasts and settles.
Where it shines
Current seams, gravel bars, and sand-to-rock transitions—anywhere fish are feeding but won’t chase a bigger swimbait.
Cadence tip: let the bait glide on a controlled slack line. If you stay tight the whole time, you kill the dart and turn it into a straight swim.

Top 3 ways we fish it

Small moves, clean contact, repeat.

Jig & Twitch

A swim bait that fishes like a jerkbait when you want it to.
  • Rig it straight on a compact ball head so the tail doesn’t roll.
  • Pop the rod twice, then pause long enough for it to pendulum back down.
  • When you feel a tick on the fall, lean into it—don’t snap-set and move it away.
Money on smallmouth over rock and walleyes that are nipping but not eating a steady swim.

Slow-Roll Edge Swim

Keep it level and just off bottom along the “easy lane.”
  • Count it down and start reeling before it touches down—no plowing.
  • Use a steady retrieve and add tiny speed-ups instead of big jerks.
  • When you hit grass, don’t rip; ease it free and let it surge for a half turn.
A clean way to cover weed edges and rock-to-grass lines without looking like a crankbait.

Current-Swing Swimbait

Let the river load the rod and keep the tail working in place.
  • Cast quartering up-current and hold a light bow so it can work.
  • Feed line as needed to keep it ticking bottom without pinning it down.
  • At the end of the swing, pause it in the soft water—fish often pin it there.
A steady producer below dams and around wing dams when walleyes and smallmouth set up behind breaks.
Pour & profile: Ribbed body with a thin wrist and compact paddle tail—designed to start fast, dart on short twitches, and keep pulsing on the pause.
Made for: Seams, bars, and transitions—when fish are feeding but want a smaller, more controlled swimbait presentation.
