Quick take
A 2 5/8 in topwater stickbait with metallic finishes for saltwater gamefish like striped bass and tarpon.
The MirrOLure CS17MR is a 2 5/8 inch, 3/8 ounce suspending twitchbait in a Shad finish. It holds its place in the water during pauses and swims within about two feet of the surface, which suits shallow cover and shoreline edges. Anglers who want a compact profile that fish can key on in shallow water will find it a fitting choice.
Best for
- Striped bass in coastal rivers
- Tarpon and snook in flats
- Schooling offshore species
Skip if
- You fish freshwater; this is designed for saltwater
- You need a silent approach; this lure makes noise
Strengths
- Bright metallic finishes flash and attract in open water
- Balanced body casts far and tracks straight
- Topwater action creates surface disturbance to draw strikes
Trade-offs
- Treble hooks require careful handling during casting and landing
- Works best in saltwater; not designed for freshwater
- Metallic finish can fade with extended saltwater use

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
