Quick take
A 2 5/8 inch suspending twitchbait that darts side to side on a twitch for saltwater species.
This green and silver Mirrodine 17MR is a 2 5/8 inch, 3/8 ounce suspending twitchbait that runs about two feet deep. A twitching retrieve makes it dart from side to side, a motion suited to redfish, snook, tarpon and striped bass in shallow water. Anglers fishing inshore saltwater shallows will find it a practical match for those species.
Best for
- Sight-casting to redfish and tarpon
- Twitching over shallow grass flats
- Wounded baitfish patterns in clear water
Skip if
- You need a straight-retrieve lure
- You fish freshwater for largemouth bass
Strengths
- Suspend design holds in strike zone on the pause
- Dart action mimics wounded baitfish struggling
- Small size works in clear saltwater
Trade-offs
- Requires skilled twitch-retrieve technique
- Small size limits casting distance on heavy line
- Suspension depth requires tuning with line type
