Quick take
A 4.75 inch hard jerkbait that suspends at 11 feet deep, designed for a rolling and fluttering action on the pause.
Best for
- Clear lakes where fish suspend over deeper structure
- Jigging with a rod and pause cadence
Skip if
- Shallow weed beds; it dives too deep
- Heavy cover where the trebles will snag
Strengths
- Weight transfer system loads cast and allows longer throws
- Suspending action keeps the lure at the strike zone during the pause
- 3D eyes and black nickel hooks attract and hook fish
Trade-offs
- Three treble hooks snag on weeds or wood easily
- Deep dive depth limits use in shallow or weed-choked water
- Hard jerkbait body chips and cracks when impacted during the pause

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.
