Whether twitched on the top as a surface bait, retrieved as a shallow runner, weighted with a split shot for medium depths or bottom walked off a three-way swivel or bottom bouncer, the wounded minnow action continues to take little to no action to be irresistible to gamefish no matter the location. You can cast this floater lure out, let it sit and its reasonable clarity will attract fish that are sitting on the surface. The lure is especially effective if there is a slight ripple in the water. This is not just a lure for catching bass, you can use it for saltwater game fish, inshore saltwater fish or many species of fresh-water fish.
The bib allows for a study retrieve of the bait as if you are trolling. Compared to a lot of other surface baits or minnow style lures on the market. It can be used as an effective twitch bait, so you can throw it, pop it, or pull it below the surface before letting it float back up to tease the near-by predators. The lure also makes a great jerk bait as you can give it perpetual underwater movement and catch fish that are lower in the depths of the water.
Extremely versatile and very efficient natural minnow profile thanks to the colouration of the lures, whether you choose the Bleak, Firetiger or Rainbow trout baitfish designs. The modern classic colourations are reflective but subtle like chrome finished, the floater lure is finished so it is unobtrusive, so it attracts fish rather than spooks them.
