A highly adaptable ultra-light fishing lure suitable for a wide range of scenarios. This lure is designed to sink and mimics the movement of a minnow underwater, creating a captivating wobble action when reeled in at a moderate to high speed. By incorporating intermittent jerks during the retrieval process, this lure effectively entices fish and enhances their interest in taking a bite.
