Great Lakes Finesse Hover Minnow 2.75" 8pk Frosted Shad

The Great Lakes Finesse Hover Minnow 2.75" soft bait is built for modern forward-facing sonar and live-target fishing techniques. At 2.75 inches, these minnows are sized for precision work in clear water and high-pressure situations where fish have seen it all. The 8-pack gives you enough to experiment with different presentations and colors without breaking the bank.

What sets the Hover Minnow apart is its concave belly design, which creates multiple distinct actions depending on how you fish it. Vertical jigging delivers a gliding, spiraling fall that looks like an injured baitfish; in-place jigging triggers random darting movements that return to center, mimicking the unpredictable behavior of panicked minnows. Cast it out and work it horizontally, and each rod-tip twitch produces rolling, darting, and gliding motion in different directions. The Frosted Shad color is a versatile natural choice that matches the hatch in most freshwater situations.

As techniques like the Cindy Rig, Moping, Mid-Strolling, and Hover Strolling have become more effective—and more common—fish in popular waters have grown wary of cookie-cutter presentations. The Hover Minnow's multi-directional action profile helps break through that conditioning. Whether you're sight-fishing with forward-facing sonar or working shallow structure, these baits reward precise technique and rod control.
