FlatFish® : The Ultimate Slow-Speed Game Changer 

For over 50 years, the Worden’s FlatFish has remained a staple in tackle boxes for one simple reason: it catches fish when nothing else can. Now sold by Yakima, this shallow-diving plug is engineered for maximum vibration, producing a legendary, wide-action wiggle that predators find impossible to ignore.

Why the FlatFish Stands Out

• High-Action Wiggle: Even at the slowest trolling or retrieval speeds, the FlatFish® maintains a violent, strike-producing swimming motion.

• Versatile Attraction: Perfect for targeting everything from trout and panfish to salmon and steelhead, its unique silhouette mimics a wide variety of forage.

• Shallow-Water Specialist: Designed to dive shallow and stay in the strike zone longer, making it ideal for river drifts and lake shallows.

Rigging for Success

To get the most out of your FFlatFish®, follow these professional rigging tips:

• Direct Tie: For the most authentic action, tie your line directly to the included round-eyed connector snap or figure-eight eyelet.

• Prevent Line Twist: If you are using a spinning reel, place a barrel swivel a few feet ahead of the plug. This allows the lure to dance freely without twisting your main line.

Recommendation

• For Ultra-Light Fishing: Choose the FlatFish® F5 if you are targeting smaller species like trout or panfish in shallow water.

• For Versatile Mid-Range: The FlatFish® X4 is a great "do-it-all" size for bass, steelhead, and larger trout, offering a larger profile than the F-series without being as heavy as the magnum sizes.

• For Trophy Fish: Select the FlatFish® M2 for salmon or trophy lake trout. Its larger #1/0 hooks and significant weight are designed to handle high-current trolling and aggressive strikes from large predators.
