Badfin
Ultra-shallow floating minnow
Engineered for the top few inches.
An ultra-shallow floating minnow concept designed to work over submerged vegetation, with a twitch-and-pause presentation in the top few inches of water.
Follow Badfin developmentIn development. Pad Bug is coming first.
THE FISHING PROBLEM.
Submerged grass can leave a narrow feeding window above the cover. A bait that dives too deeply can catch vegetation before it reaches the fish.
THE DESIGN DIRECTION.
Badfin explores a floating, fast-rise body, an ultra-shallow lip, and a smooth underside. The intended action combines a tight wobble with subtle body roll and pauses above the grass.
ON THE BENCH.
Body-shape development is moving forward. Lip shape, line-tie position, buoyancy, and running depth remain subject to prototype testing.
