If the four5 is our finger mullet, this bait was designed to be our "white bait." We aren't referring to color here but the class of baitfish (pilchards, greenies, etc) that inshore fish love to feed on. We replaced the gentle thump of the four5 with a quicker flutter that mimics the frantic nature of a white bait.
This bait was also designed by hand in clay to get the profile and feel of the desired baitfish. The difference is, we honestly couldn't get fully happy with the performance of the final product. So the hand molded clay model was roughly reproduced in CAD (3D computer modeling) and we cleaned up the aspects we didn't like. The first 3D printed version was the last, it worked right off the bat.
We run this bait in pretty much any form you can think of, weedless, giant belly circle hook or our lead heads from 3/8oz up through 1.5oz. Ideal tends to be the 3/4oz head for shallower spots or lighter currents and a 1 ounce head when the weather kicks up or you need to find bottom.
We also run it in a circle hook option (coming soon) for big tarpon. And don't be surprised if you're sweeping your favorite structure and a mondo snapper or grouper latches on, they love it too.
