Jigging Minnow 4″ — The Gentleman (Old Version)

Classic Purple Top • Vintage Chartreuse Bottom • Hand‑Crafted Fish Candy

The Gentleman (Old Version) brings back the original two‑tone colorway that helped define your early lineup. Built for anglers who appreciate a clean, high‑visibility bait with a natural swimming action, this 4″ jigging minnow pairs an older‑style purple top with a vintage chartreuse bottom — the same combination that earned its reputation on the Detroit, St. Clair, and Saginaw River systems.

Hand‑poured in small batches, The Gentleman delivers a soft, responsive body that kicks naturally in current, making it deadly for vertical jigging, drifting, or slow lifts along deep structure. When fish want something bright, simple, and easy to track, this is the bait that stands out without overwhelming the presentation.

🎨 Classic Gentleman Color Combo

• Top: Old‑school Purple A smooth, deep purple tone from your original batches — subtle, clean, and proven in clear and mixed clarity water.
• Bottom: Old‑school Chartreuse The classic chartreuse shade anglers loved from the early days — bright, bold, and highly visible in stained or deep water.

This is the Gentleman as it was first introduced: simple, classy, and effective.
