MINI GOBY | 2.25"
MINI GOBY
Mini Goby is a new plastic goby imitation that is much smaller than those found in our Goby Series. This bait was requested by many anglers looking for a goby bait designed for ice fishing. Mini Goby measures 2.25" in length, making it an ideal bait for panfish, whitefish and fish requiring a smaller presentation than normal. As usual, this bait includes all the unique features of a custom bait.
- 2.25" mini size is ideal for panfish or finicky fish requiring a smaller presentation
- Soft plastic give this small bait extra movement
- Goby-like design gives this a more realistic look to fish
- Ideal for tipping other baits such as ice jigs
- Signature Grumpy face seduces fish into an aggressive, dominant strike
- Loaded with our signature HAMMER JUICE
- Loaded with hand-ground, sea salt so fish hang on longer
