Sebastian Jones –
This jerkbait worked great in clear water. The scent pulled in bass consistently, even on a slow retrieve. The flat nose held up well on drop shot and hooked fish easily.
Leah Hunter –
Fished it in a shallow creek and caught several fish within 15 minutes. The tail movement looked natural and the scent was noticeable even from a distance.
Heather Manning –
Used it in heavy cover with a small weight. The bait stayed down and attracted fish that would normally avoid the area. Hook-up rate was much higher than with other minnow baits.
