Red Hornet 12g Minnow

Red Hornet 12g Minnow Jerkbait

Buoyancy: Suspending to Slow-Floating
Finesse Profile: At 12g, this lure fits into a light-to-medium jerkbait class. Depending on line size and water temperature, it acts as a true Suspending or Slow-Floating bait.

Responsive Action: The 12g weight reacts immediately to subtle rod twitches, making it easy to work with a lighter medium/medium-light rod setup.

The Pause: When paused, it holds its place in the water column or very slowly hovers upward, giving trailing predators time to commit.

Diving Depth: 0.6m – 1.5m (2 – 5 feet)
Short Bill Lip: The clear plastic bill is short and angled forward to dive quickly on twitching retrieves without plunging into deep bottom structure.

Target Zone: Excellent for targeting fish over shallow grass beds, rock flats, and timber lines.

Action and Retrieval Techniques
Erratic Side-to-Side Darting: Sharp snaps of the rod tip cause this slender minnow body to slash dartingly from side to side.

Top-Down & Lateral Visibility: As shown in the overhead shot (rg6.jpg), the vivid red and yellow top bars create a strong visual footprint for fish looking up at it. The mesh scale texture and silver/gold metallic side transitions (rg5.jpg) create an intense flicker during the roll.

Target Species: Ideal for Largemouth & Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, Northern Pike, Trout, and Perch.
