Information

The swimming action

A slim baitfish profile that flutters and glides down with a subtle wobble on the fall, closely imitating the small smelt and whitebait fry that rockfish and flathead feed on inshore.

When to throw it

Effective on shore marks where rockfish, flathead and other bottom predators are feeding on small baitfish schools, particularly around structure, current edges and drop-offs adjacent to sand.

How to work it

Sink to the target depth or bottom, then work with short lifts and a slow, controlled fall, pausing to let the flutter imitate a dying baitfish.

The setup it likes

A light to medium shore jigging rod rated to around 10-30g, matched with a 3000 spinning reel, 1-1.2 PE braid and a 12-16 lb fluorocarbon leader.
