Im having very good results with the shiver minnow too....also did well last year! Only one thing I don't like about them. I think smaller sub legal eyes and perch will hit the bigger ones head first and there's no hook on on the head! I've had alot of nice hits and nothing there.....fish that are big enough just inhale the whole thing so no problems there. I guess its not a bad thing to not have to deal with smaller undersize eyes but it kills me missing a big slam. Predatory fish eat there pray head first so the defense fins don't wreck there meal......would love to see a hook on the front of the shiver minnow it would be a perfect world then!

I think it was 2 yrs ago there was a posting on here about the samething your talking about. I think it was Ken Lee, he just drilled a hole in the nose like a Rapala and epoxied a hook in.

All the sizes serve there purpose from perch to eyes! Im hoping they will start making 1..2...3 and 4 ounce sizes for jigging lake trout. Glow white with orange eyes.....I would love to see it! It could be the next best thing at stannard rock!
