Master Every Depth with the Believer 8" Jointed
Consistently ranked as one of the most versatile lures ever made, the Believer 8" Jointed is a dual-purpose powerhouse. Its unique design features two separate line ties (eyes), allowing you to change the lure's depth and action in seconds. This jointed version provides an extra layer of rhythmic, swimming movement that proves irresistible to muskies, pike, and stripers.
Whether you are working a shallow weed flat or trolling deep open water, the Believer’s "searching" action and loud vibration make it a must-have in any serious angler's arsenal.
Versatility in Every Cast and Troll
The Believer is famous for its Dual Eyelet System, giving you multiple lures in one. Depending on which eye you choose, the 8" Jointed model covers the following depths:
Casting Depths
-
Shallow Eye: 0–6 Feet (Perfect for twitching over weeds)
-
Deep Eye: 4–6 Feet (Ideal for working mid-depth cover)
Trolling Depths (at 3–5 MPH)
-
Shallow Eye: 2–8 Feet
-
Deep Eye: 8–10 Feet
Why the 8" Jointed Believer Dominates
-
Jointed Swimming Action: The articulated body adds a lifelike, "snake-like" swimming motion to the classic Believer wobble, creating a visual and sonic signature that triggers aggressive strikes.
-
The "Searching" Action: This lure is engineered to hunt. It doesn't just track straight; it darts slightly from side to side, mimicking the panicked movement of a wounded baitfish.
-
Unmatched Versatility: With two line ties, you can adjust to changing fish behavior or depth without ever switching lures.
-
Legendary Durability: Built to take a beating, the Believer features high-impact construction and premium hardware designed to hold up to the most violent head-shakes.

Pro-Tip for Success
When trolling at speeds between 3–5 MPH, use the Deep Eye to reach maximum depth and create a massive "thump" that can be felt all the way to the rod handle. For a deadly shallow-water presentation, use the Shallow Eye and a "twitch-twitch-pause" retrieve. The jointed tail will continue to shimmer and move even when the lure is paused, often providing the secondary action needed to trigger a strike from a following fish.
