Vertical Minnow Blade Bait - Fire Belly

The Vertical Minnow Blade Bait lands upright on the bottom instead of falling flat. This keeps the hooks facing up when fish trap it on the bottom. We designed the body, and it was the first stand up blade bait ever built.

Fish it vertical. Lift it off the bottom, let it fall on a controlled drop, and stay in contact the whole way down. At 3/4 oz it holds under the boat when there's current to fight. It's a cold water staple that gets fished year round in the Pacific Northwest.

Fire Belly puts a hot belly under a natural back. Stained water and low light, when fish need something to track from below.
