Quick take
A 3.5 in floating jerkbait with erratic action and a feathered tail, effective on bass and pike in light cover.
This 3.5-inch jerkbait suits anglers who want a hard bait that dives to about 6.5 feet and then floats back up on a pause. Its erratic darting swim and silver side finish make it a fit for bass, pike, walleye and trout in shallow water and light cover. At half an ounce it casts easily and works well on choppy retrieves.
Best for
- Bass and pike in shallow water with light cover
- Reaction strikes with erratic retrieves
- Transitional zones between deep and shallow
Skip if
- You need heavy casting distance in wind
- You fish dense weeds or timber
Strengths
- 3D eyes and curved body create lifelike profile
- Floats on pause to mimic dying baitfish
- Dives 0-6.5 feet on sharp pulls for versatile depths
