Gear Review: Great Lakes Finesse Juicy Hellgramite

Rigging a Hellgrammite on a drop shot rig is a game changer.

WHAT IS IT?

Great Lakes Finesse Juicy Hellgramite

WHAT SETS IT APART?

What sets it apart is a smaller lifelike profile, natural matte no-shine finish, and most importantly, a true natural buoyancy. That game changer allows the Juicy Hellgramite to be fished on a drop shot. Available in eight patterns. 

HOW DO I USE IT? 

Kept secret for over 10 years by top tournament anglers, Great Lakes Finesse anglers/designers worked relentlessly to create a true, lifelike Hellgramite, which is a favorite forage of smallmouth. Dissatisfied with the mediocre bugs on the market, they created a true natural buoyant imitator that looks lifelike in the water column and when crawled across the bottom. Rig it on a drop shot, Ned rig or Carolina rig. 

HOW MUCH?

$6.99 per eight-pack

ANGLER’S INSIGHT: 

Forward-facing sonar has changed the offshore game, and in the process, caused smallmouth to become accustomed to the endless parade of soft plastics (think worms) danced in front of their noses. The Juicy Hellgramite is a game changer, as it presents a different look for baits in the category. What is more, you can use it for multiple applications.
