These slow sinking crank / jerkbait hybrid lures are excellent for fishing " tight quarters " such as creek bends and ditches that do not provide enough room for a traditional lure to be fished effectively. I use the " Big Nasty " wherever there are larger baitfish or shad. Count it down, then retrieve or jerk it back. It also can be fished on the bottom with aggressive hops, like a jig. A cool " niche " for pressured fish and situational circumstances. Tight Lines !
