This lure performs exactly as described. It sinks steadily and mimics a natural minnow well. I’ve used it in both clear water and near weeds and it consistently draws fish in. The action is smooth and predictable.

Great for targeting fish at specific depths. The balsa body gives a natural swimming motion. I’ve caught several small bass using it during early morning hours.

The sink rate is spot on. I’ve used it in different water conditions and it always reaches the right depth without sinking too fast or too slow. Highly recommended for anglers who need precision.
