Whether you position the eyelets up or down can impact how well the rod performs in distributing this weight
Small minnows and shiners Aquatic insect larvae Soft-bodied worms and grubs Tiny forage drifting in the water column Black Crappie Bluegill Walleye (using minnow-style plastics) Soft texture feels natural, reducing quick drop-offs Subtle motion appeals to finicky or cold-water fish Produces lifelike action with minimal rod movement Versatile enough for vertical jigging, drifting, or slow retrieves Use small jig heads to maintain a natural sink rate Drift minnow-style plastics for trout in slow current Try micro-plastics for panfish near submerged structure Add scent in murky or cold conditions for a stronger attraction Freshwater predators respond differently to lure speed, depth, and rhythm, so adjusting your retrieve can make a big difference in how often fish commit
