Quick take
Slow-sinking saltwater jerkbait with twitch action for halibut and striped bass.
The FlashMinnow 130MRS in Zebra Cherry Berry is a 5-1/4 inch slow-sinking jerkbait that runs 2 to 4 feet deep, which covers the zone just under the surface through the middle of the water column. It ships fully rigged with corrosion-resistant hooks, so it is ready to fish as sold.
