Link to custom color order form
Length
0.80" micro jerk profile sized for ice jigs, tungsten heads, and tiny hooks.
Best for
Crappie, bluegill, perch, with bonus walleye bites when fish are keyed on fry.
Style
Straight-tail micro jerkbait that darts on lifts and glides on the fall.
Where it shines
Ice fishing, vertical finesse, and anytime fish want a clean baitfish look.
Small move, big trigger: this bait doesn’t need constant motion. One sharp lift followed by a controlled fall often outperforms shaking, especially on neutral or roaming fish.

Top 3 ways we fish it

Snap, glide, pause

Vertical snap & glide

Classic ice jerk presentation
  • Lift the rod tip 3–6 inches with a crisp snap, then immediately stop.
  • Let the bait glide and settle on slack or semi-slack line.
  • Watch for line ticks or sudden stops on the fall.
The straight tail tracks true and creates a clean dart without spinning.

Hover & hold

When fish won’t commit
  • Lower the bait to fish level and hold it nearly still.
  • Add micro-twitches just enough to reset its position.
  • Let fish come to the bait instead of chasing them.
Minimal action keeps the bait in the strike zone without spooking pressured fish.

Micro swim & kill

Open water finesse crossover
  • Swim it slowly on a tiny jighead with steady line tension.
  • Kill the retrieve every few feet and let it glide down.
  • Resume the swim smoothly—no ripping.
That stop-and-go cadence mimics a fleeing fry that runs out of steam.
Pour & profile: Micro jerk-style soft plastic built to dart cleanly and fall naturally.
Made for: Ice fishing, vertical finesse, and subtle baitfish presentations on light line.
