This hand-painted lure’s tail blade creates the fluttering action of a dying minnow swimming on its side. The 41⁄2-inch sinking lure features a premium treble belly hook, an epoxy finish, through-wire construction and holographic 3D eyes. Contact Maxota at 612) 616-8464; maxota.com.

“The lure can be retrieved on the surface or allowed to sink for a deeper retrieve. It has great flash and wobble, with a realistic look and action.”
Daniel Zimmerman, Unionville, VA

“The swimming motion from the tail blade creates the look of a dying baitfish. It’s not only unique, but it makes the bait more appealing to fish looking for an easy meal.”

Alaska
I wouldn't mind testing some items soon because I am going on a fishing trip to Alaska soon and would like to try some things out there so I could see what to buy for next time.

Maxota Struggling Shad
cool looking, great review, can't wait to BUY my own, Now for the rest of you quit wiening and begging, Do what good fishermen do, follow the good reviews, buy your own gear, and if you have something worth writing about share it, if not don't say anything.
