These lures are intended to either be cast out, let them sink to the bottom and twitch gently for life-like action or to fish in deeper water under the boat by letting it sink to the bottom with a weighted sinker and twitching it off the bottom gently as you would do bottom fishing for grouper with live pinfish. Fish these lures as you would live pinfish or sardines. These lures are not intended to cast out and retrieve quickly back to the boat and you will not get the best lure action this way. These lures are great for Bass, Grouper, Redfish, Snook, Cobia, Snapper , Tarpon, Gator Sea Trout and other aggressive game fish.
