04 / SALT / SUSPENDING
Inshore saltwater demands a different kind of suspending bait than freshwater bass. These twitchbaits are built for shallow grass flats and clear water where a bass jerkbait looks wrong and gets ignored. For snook, redfish, and big seatrout.
MIRROLURE
The flats jerkbait that has redfish writing letters to the FTC.
PAUL BROWN
Hand-poured suspending bait. Texas seatrout religion. The most expensive thing you'll lose to a redfish today.
RAPALA
The freshwater darter with VMC saltwater hooks. Same dance, salt-grade hardware.
LIVETARGET
Photo-finish realism for clear-water inshore. Snook see colors. Yes, really.
BOMBER
Slow-sinking twitch/walk bait built for flats. The mullet profile is what everything inshore eats from June through October. Twitch it, let it sink, watch the rod double.
