The Trace 5" Saltwater is a compact, multi-jointed swimbait that matches smaller inshore forage like mullet, shad, and baitfish. Its 3-joint segmented body produces a tight, natural swimming motion that gives redfish, snook, striped bass, and other coastal predators the look of a cruising or injured baitfish without requiring an aggressive retrieve.
Fish it with a steady retrieve along grass lines, flats, docks, and current seams to let the segmented body swim naturally, or add subtle rod twitches to make the bait change direction around structure. The slow-sink configuration falls at 0.67 ft/sec, allowing anglers to count the bait down and keep its 5" profile working below the surface when fish are holding deeper in the water column.
Detailed 3D scales, lifelike eyes, and natural coastal finishes reinforce the baitfish profile at close range. The combination of a compact body, controlled slow sink, and responsive jointed action makes it well suited for pressured inshore fish that are keyed on smaller forage.

- Responsive body movement reacts to subtle rod twitches for directional changes around structure
- Compact 5" profile matches smaller mullet, shad, and other common inshore forage
- Effective along flats, grass edges, docks, current seams, and coastal structure
