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 perch, plus smallmouth and walleye when they’re dialed into small forage.
Style
Hand-poured finesse bait with a ribbed body and a thin tail section built to glide and “kick” with minimal speed.
Where it shines
Clear water, cold fronts, and pressured fish—anytime you need subtle movement without downsizing to “too tiny.”
Quick tip: rig it perfectly straight and let it fall on controlled slack. If it spins or helicopters, re-thread it—this bait’s whole advantage is the clean glide and the tiny tail kick on the settle.
Top 3 ways we fish it
Glide-first finesse with a soft finish
Jig & swim (slow roll)
Steady tracking for roaming fish
- Swim it on a light jighead just fast enough to stay connected and keep it level.
- Every few feet, pause and let it glide down—keep your line semi-slack so it can “finish” naturally.
- If you tick grass or rock, don’t rip; ease it free and resume the same slow cadence.
Vertical hover & micro snaps
Ice and open-water finesse
- Hold it at fish level and use tiny 2–4 inch snaps, then stop dead.
- Let it fall on semi-slack and watch for a soft tick, sideways drift, or a sudden stop.
- When fish are neutral, shorten the snaps and lengthen the pauses instead of adding speed.
Drop-shot “shake & park”
Pinpoint bites around edges
- Nose-hook or light Texas rig it, then keep the bait just off bottom while you maintain tension.
- Shake the slack lightly for a second, then park it—repeat without dragging the rig out of the zone.
- When you feel weight, reel down until the rod loads, then lift to drive the hook home.
