The Slayer 1.75" is a true finesse minnow: slim body, neutral posture, and just enough tail movement to look alive without forcing speed. It excels when fish are keyed on small baitfish or want a clean, non-bulky target. When/Where: Windy banks, shallow grass edges, and riprap when fish follow but won’t fully commit. How: Thread straight as a finesse trailer and run a smooth retrieve. Let the blades call fish in; the minnow closes the deal. Why: Adds a realistic baitfish target without overpowering a compact spinnerbait. Tuning: If it rolls, re-thread perfectly centered and snug to the keeper. When/Where: Sparse grass, reeds, and shallow cover where fish are feeding on small forage. How: Steady swim with brief pauses in openings; restart slowly. Why: Slim minnow profile tracks clean and gets eaten by pressured fish. Tuning: Adjust jig weight for lift/depth before changing retrieve speed. When/Where: Clear to lightly stained water over sand, rock, or grass transitions. How: Slow swim with controlled pauses to let it glide. Why: Flash draws attention; the Slayer’s subtle body convinces followers. Tuning: Keep it in the low-speed lane—this bait shines there. When/Where: Dock shade, weed edges, and suspended fish over structure. How: Nose-hook for max glide or light-Texas for cover; shake in place. Why: Holds a minnow look without forward travel—perfect for neutral fish. Tuning: Shorten the leader and reduce shake when bites are light. When/Where: Hard bottom, riprap, and sparse grass. How: Drag-pause or tiny hops; let it settle naturally. Why: A small baitfish profile for classic “slow and easy” Ned bites. Tuning: Lift and glide instead of dragging to avoid snags in rock. When/Where: Panfish schools, shallow rock, and current seams. How: Swim just off bottom or count down and slow-roll. Why: Simple jig-and-minnow look that works across species. Tuning: Go lighter to keep it swimming instead of dragging. When/Where: Reeds, sparse grass, and small wood. How: Crawl and occasionally lift to swim, then settle. Why: Weedless finesse with a true minnow silhouette. Tuning: Straight rigging prevents spin and keeps action clean. When/Where: Ultra-shallow flats and calm pockets. How: Cast, let it sink, twitch-pause with long rests. Why: Natural fall and subtle movement for spooky fish. Tuning: Add a tiny nail weight if more sink is needed.Spinnerbait (micro / compact)
