Rebel Lures Tracdown Minnow Slow-Sinking Crankbait

The Rebel Tracdown Minnow is one of those lures I keep coming back to on still water. My approach is simple — cast it out, count it down to the depth the trout are holding, then mix up my retrieve. Sometimes a steady slow pull works, other times a stop-and-go drives them crazy. I'll also rig it up for a slow troll and cover water until I find fish. I fish the 1 5/8 in, 3/32 oz size in Slick Rainbow Trout, and that color has been consistently effective on stocked trout in lakes and ponds. At around six bucks, it's low risk to try. With 213 Amazon reviews it's not just me — this lure has a real track record.
