Jigging Minnow 4″ #5 — Painted Perch

Hand‑Poured • High‑Flash Perch Pattern • River‑Ready Action

The Painted Perch Jigging Minnow is built for anglers who want a natural forage profile with the punch to stand out in current. Designed to mimic juvenile perch—the #1 food source for walleye, bass, and river predators—this 4″ minnow pairs lifelike color transitions with a subtle shimmer that flashes just enough to get noticed without spooking pressured fish.

Hand‑poured in small batches, each Painted Perch Minnow delivers a soft, responsive body that kicks, rolls, and glides with realistic movement. Whether you’re vertical jigging deep channels or drifting current seams, this bait stays true and stays in the strike zone.

🎨 Signature Painted Perch Pattern

• Natural green‑to‑yellow perch body
• Subtle metallic flash for realism
• Dark vertical barring for a true perch silhouette
• Soft, responsive tail that activates with minimal movement

This colorway shines in clear water, mixed clarity, and sunny conditions where fish are keyed in on natural forage.

🎣 Where It Excels

Perfect for:

• Detroit, Saginaw, and St. Clair River walleye
• Bass feeding on small perch
• Trout and steelhead in mixed clarity water
• Deep channel edges, current seams, and structure transitions

If predators are feeding on perch, this minnow becomes a must‑throw.

🪝 Rigging Options

• Jig Head – Vertical jigging, snap jigging, or slow lifts
• Carolina Rig – Natural glide behind a weight
• Drop Shot – Deadly for suspended or neutral fish
• Drifting – Let the current bring the bait to life
