Its durable plastic construction, wide tail swing, and built-in rattle system create a dynamic underwater presence that provokes aggressive strikes from deep-water predators. Designed to track true whether trolled slow or fast, it’s perfect for targeting walleye, pike, and lake trout holding near structure or suspended in open water. Outfitted with three sharp VMC® black nickel treble hooks, the Gold Miner 30 is ready to “strike gold” on every trip.
