MirrOlure® TT-18 Spotted Trout Series Sinking Twitchbait
The MirrOlure® TT-18 Spotted Trout Series Sinking Twitchbait is a slow-sinking hard bait engineered to imitate an injured baitfish and trigger strikes from inshore gamefish. Built with an erratic darting action, internal fish-calling rattles, lifelike 3-D eyes, and premium black nickel treble hooks, the TT Series excels when predators are feeding below the surface. The TT-18 color pattern features a Chartreuse Back, White Belly, and Silver finish, providing excellent visibility in stained water, low-light conditions, and overcast skies. Whether you're fishing grass flats, marshes, creek mouths, or the surf along the Outer Banks, the TT-18 is a dependable addition to any inshore tackle box. Available at Frank & Fran's with fast nationwide shipping.
Best Ways to Use This Bait
- Fish shallow flats, marshes, creeks, and channels.

- Allow the lure to sink naturally between twitches.
- Work around oyster bars, docks, bridges, and grass edges.
- Target speckled trout, red drum, flounder, snook, striped bass, bluefish, and other inshore predators.
Why Anglers Choose the TT Series
- Slow-sinking design keeps the lure in the strike zone longer.
- Erratic darting action closely imitates injured forage.
- Internal fish-calling rattles attract predatory fish.
- Natural 3-D eyes create a realistic baitfish profile.
- Premium black nickel treble hooks provide dependable hooksets.

What to Expect on the Water
The TT-18 performs best when fish are feeding just below the surface or suspended over grass flats and channels. Fish it with sharp rod twitches followed by controlled pauses, allowing the lure to sink naturally while maintaining its realistic baitfish profile. The bright Chartreuse Back and Silver finish make it an excellent option when additional visibility helps fish locate the lure.
