JR Wake bait — Style A — Perch

Runs just under the surface and leaves a visible wake — a hard bait that looks like baitfish working the top of the column. This one is finished in Perch on a Wake bait — Style A body.

How to fish it

• Steady retrieve to hold the wake; pause if they short-strike.
• Work banks, points, and open water where bait is near the top.

When it shines

When fish are high in the column and you want a visible track without pure topwater. 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.
