Great Lakes 2.4 Juicy Hellgrammite

Great Lakes 2.4” Juicy Hellgrammite

Hidden by elite tournament anglers for more than a decade, the 2.4” Juicy Hellgrammite is a lifelike imitation of one of smallmouth bass’s most calorie-dense prey, the hellgrammite. What sets this version apart is its reduced profile, a matte no-shine exterior, and—most critically—its true neutral buoyancy, enabling correct presentation on a drop shot.

The bait’s subtle, natural motion provokes heavy strikes when slowly crawled along the bottom, and it really excels when held perfectly horizontal on a drop shot setup.
