MirrOlure® C17MR MirrOdine Suspending Twitchbait – Chameleon Series
The MirrOlure® C17MR MirrOdine Suspending Twitchbait – Chameleon Series combines the proven fish-catching action of the legendary MirrOdine with MirrOlure's innovative color-shifting Chameleon finish. Designed to imitate an injured baitfish, this suspending twitchbait features an erratic darting action, reflective inserts, realistic 3-D eyes, and internal "fish-calling" rattles that attract aggressive strikes from speckled trout, red drum, snook, striped bass, and other inshore gamefish. The unique Chameleon finish changes appearance as light conditions and viewing angles change, making it an excellent choice for clear water and varying light conditions.
