Description
Bass love spiraling and random darting actions! Enter the new Hover Minnow, featuring a unique concave belly, which offers both actions and is the only soft bait of its kind.
As the Cindy Rig, Moping, Mid-Strolling and Hover Strolling techniques have become more popular, fish are also becoming conditioned, making them harder to catch.
When vertically jigged, on the fall this bait will glide in a spiraling pattern and when jigged in place will dart in random directions, returning to center.
When fished horizontally through the water column any twitch of your rod tip will have the bait rolling, darting, and gliding in random directions.
The Great Lakes Finesse Hover Minnow is a versatile jig trailer designed to imitate the erratic movements of a jerkbait!
Its unique concave belly design produces lifelike spiraling and darting actions that trigger aggressive strikes from bass. As fish become increasingly pressured by traditional finesse techniques, the Hover Minnow's unpredictable swimming pattern stands out, making it an essential tool for catching wary fish.
Whether fished vertically or horizontally, this bait excels in various presentations, ensuring you're always ready to tempt big bass!
For example, when fishing in open areas where bass are very wary, it is possible to mislead them into biting by showing them a fast retrieve at the limit. Also, for bass lurking in heavy cover or overhangs, KAREN's high cover-avoidance performance enables a forceful approach, pulling the lure to the outside of the cover and making it bite in a predatory behavior. The bass's unhesitant and aggressive bite is probably due to their recognition of KAREN as a real baitfish.
Usage and possible situations
Dead-sticking on the surface of the water, pulling with the "i", dead-slow retrieve.
These techniques are effective when bass are focused on the surface. The soft material of the body gives the lure a strong presence and attracts bites. It does not move more than necessary, and only the thin tail section moves naturally to confuse the bass's judgment. The KAREN180, with its presence and naturalness, is also suitable for a slow approach.
Swinging, stop and go
KAREN is also good at the basic action of moving to lure and stopping to make the fish eat. A short twitch with a head swing produces a weak bait fish. A short jerk with a wide wobble produces a baitfish that flees in an instant. These actions will get bass to bite.
Medium retrieve
This action is the very essence of a swimming, defenseless baitfish. The wobble roll of the hard material head creates waves while the soft material body moves naturally. It is the hybrid structure that slows down the judgment of the bass that are chasing the lure and brings them to bite.
Fast retrieve
Many big baits cannot handle a retrieve that is too fast and the action breaks down, but KAREN is different. The hard material head provides stable action.

Storage Precautions for KAREN 180
After use, please check the "How to fix the soft material body" on the package. When not in use, remove the dedicated pin and store the head and soft material body separately in the dedicated package. 1 day's time is not a problem, but if they are adhered to each other for a long time, chemical cracks will occur on the head side.
