Wake Mullet: Shallow Running Lure For Inshore Anglers

- Found In: Product Reviews, Fishing Tips, Lure Reviews
After multiple years of testing and tweaking, we landed on what we believe is the ultimate shallow running plug for inshore anglers.
This lure is unique in that it casts extremely far and it creates its own action in the water that generates strikes so that you can effortlessly cover a lot of water while catching a lot of fish.
Best of all, you only need to just cast it out and reel it back in (no need for worrying about twitching the rod with perfect harmony).
The preliminary testing went better than any other lure we’ve had for redfish. And it has proven to do well for seatrout, snook, bass, and various other species too.
Here’s a video that shows how it works:

thanks
Looking forward to seeing it in action
I like it.
Bait looks good but I have had problems with inline hooks catching each other when they are as close together as on this bait. Anyone experiencing this problem ?
Just got mine 2 days ago.
I’m fixin to test it soon and will report results.
Thanks! I look forward to seeing how you do with this new lure.
Can’t wait to try my new wake mullet this weekend 😎😀
Can’t wait for mine!
Got bass first day! 5 ish in heat on 19 acre lake. I get 45+ cranks casting bg3000 clone on 7 foot battle2 fast stiff pole. About same as your spooks. I cannot feel the action fwiw.
I wish to try 3+ gram heavier and 1/4 inch longer model. Also a 50 to 100 mil longer / wider lip model. (You can always grind smaller not bigger). Sorry to be specific but my lifes work was building microprocessors so they are either perfect or trash lol. I have got zero fish on skinny lipper and wake thing. A few on swim baits and mostly spooks. My 54 logged catches are fishbrain DSmith1957 fyi.
When tying this lure do you recommend a loop knot or a tight knot
Luke this may be a strange test but it would be interesting to take one of these lures and benchmark it against a straight jig and Slam Shady 2.0 to see how much seaweed each one catches. I spend way too much time (at least I think so!) having to tear off algae/seaweed/misc. junk off of my lures in the summer. This hinders my time and ability to catch fish since I never catch anything when a good amount of junk has been collected by my jig hook.
If floating seaweed is in an area, I will automatically switch over to weedless soft plastics because they can go straight through it with minimal issues. My plug use is mostly in the mornings given that the dead grass most often floats up once the sun is up and heating the water.
