The "Maples Minnow" pattern was born from the vision of muskie and bass fishing guide, Jacob Maples. Jacob has used this color pattern with devastating effect. He continues to win championships as well as putting his clients on incredible fish with this color pattern. We're honored to name this color after him and we continue being his biggest fans.

This is the absolute best all-around lure for all bodies of water including small streams, rivers, and lakes. These hand-painted lures are floating and work in shallow water while easily diving 8ft to get you wherever the fish are suspended. They can easily dive over 10ft while drifting or trolling. They have phenomenal control for diverse styles of retrieve. The floating action helps get these lures over under water obstacles just by momentarily pausing when striking the bottom or other submerged hazards. Quick jerks often clear the lures of any moss, leaves, or vegetation you might pick up along your retrieve. Complete with an attractive rattling sound, these lures have excellent action and are simply the most diverse lure in our line-up.

This lure was specially designed for drifting streams and rivers like the White River, Current River, and you guessed it, Taneycomo! It's paired with a 3/16oz weight that's designed to get it to the bottom while drifting from a boat, kayak, or canoe. The ideal way to use it is to cast it behind your craft and wait until it reaches the bottom to target fish sitting on the bottom of the stream waiting for food to come to them. You can easily swap the weight out with one heavier or lighter depending on how fast the water is moving. Easy-to-follow instructions on the packaging.
