JR Shallow diver — Style A — Perch

Shorter bill for the top of the column — a cast-and-reel search bait over flats and shallow cover. This one is finished in Perch on a Shallow diver — Style A body.

How to fish it

• Cast and reel through the zone; bump cover when you can.
• Speed up to cover water; slow down when you get interest.

When it shines

Shallow banks, flats, and early-season water when fish aren't deep. Match color to water: clear leans light, muddy leans dark.

Tackle notes

• Direct tie — no snap swivel (kills action). Fluorocarbon is a solid default; braid in heavy cover.

Each one starts as a blank and is hand-painted by Jeff & Ray — finished to fish, not just to sit in a box.
