Some lures require a specific cadence.
Others require some trial and error before you really figure them out.
And then there are those that seem to catch fish no matter who’s holding the rod.
The Wake Mullet has quickly become one of those lures for me.
In this video, I’ll show you how it works, the conditions where it really shines, and why so many anglers are already putting redfish, snook, and trout in the boat with it.

What Makes The Wake Mullet Different?
The first thing you’ll notice about the Wake Mullet is the oversized lip.
That lip creates a tremendous amount of vibration and action without requiring any special retrieve.
Simply cast it out and reel it back in.
The lure does the work for you.
That’s one of the reasons it has become one of my favorite shallow-water plugs. It covers water efficiently, stays easy to fish, and consistently gets the attention of nearby predators in churned-up water.
When The Wake Mullet Really Shines
Not every lure excels in every situation.
One of the things I like most about the Wake Mullet is how effective it can be when water clarity isn’t perfect.
The combination of vibration, wobble, and water displacement helps fish locate it even when visibility is reduced.
Redfish, snook, and trout all rely heavily on their lateral lines to detect movement in the water, and this lure creates a strong presence that can help trigger reaction strikes.
The Results Have Been Impressive
The Wake Mullet was originally released through our Tackle Tester Program, and the feedback started rolling in almost immediately.
Members have been catching quality redfish, snook, trout, jack crevalle, and even largemouth bass on it.
One of my favorite things has been seeing how quickly anglers gain confidence with the lure.
There’s very little learning curve.
Cast it out, keep it moving, and let the lure do what it was designed to do.
Final Thoughts
The Wake Mullet has been producing for redfish, snook, trout, and a variety of other species, all while being one of the easiest lures in my arsenal to fish effectively.
If you’re looking for a shallow-water plug that creates plenty of vibration, covers water efficiently, and flat-out catches fish, it’s definitely worth checking out.

Why do these baits and many others have two single style hooks instead of two treble hooks?
Thanks for asking. Here are the main reasons… single hooks do the following:
1-Allows lure to have better action in the water due to less drag (helps lure get more strikes)
2-Decreases odds of getting snagged in trees or on the bottom
3-Decreases odds of us getting impaled by a hook while unhooking fish
4-Decreases odds of a fish getting gut hooked (which results in a very high mortality rate for any fish that is going to be released.
I love the Wake Mullet, have been having a lot of luck with trout on it. Mostly casting under my neighbors dock light at night. Doesn’t matter if the tide is high or low, they keep hitting it hard.
Thanks for sharing your results. I’ll make sure to try it around lights next time I’m fishing at night.
Got mine, haven’t had a chance to use it… I have HIGH HOPES!
This lure is awesome for covering wind blown shallow zones where there are baitfish and churned up water. I hope you enjoy using it as much as I do when the conditions are favorable for it.
I like the wake mullet as a little more subtle than a larger wake bait but sometimes struggle to get it to swim true. Is it best to retrieve it at a faster pace? Rod tip up or down better?
Make sure to use a loop knot so it has max freedom of motion… a snug knot will constrict its ability to wobble properly.
Last August I had substantial fortune with this lure in the same area that Luke was testing its prototype earlier. Couple of slot reds and snook. When the conditions call for it. I tie it on. Thanks Luke!
I’m glad to see that you’re enjoying the wake mullet too.
You must be running out of content to talk about because I know in early spring you already ran this article slash post but thats alright but anyways like I have said before I ALREADY own ALL the wake mullet colors but really haven’t done anything on them but I know sometimes it takes time after you did a post about using the wake mullet at night I tried it but nothing on it but I also know you guys promote lures sometimes and if you have maybe an excess of them that hasn’t sold you will put a post out promoting it to boost sales after all you are in the market to make money that’s why companies go into buissness to begin with nothing wrong with that gotta make a living anyways just saying gonna go night fishing this sun night into mon maybe I’ll try it around some docks and see what happens you just never know thanks for your intel and all you do😉👍
I highly recommend giving this lure another try because it works great for calling in fish when they can’t see very well (from churned and/or murky water). So this lure is perfectly suited for people like you who are fishing murky water zones and/or do lots of night fishing.
Summer rains will often churn up the water more than the spring when we talked about this lure last, so we wanted to make sure members were aware of this lure to help maximize their valuable time out on the water.
Thanks Luke!

Excellent Info. Thank you.

What color should I try? I fish mostly in the St. Petersburg region. I’m a shore most of the time, fishing bridges, docks, piers and some wading.
My most trusted for tampa bay is the mullet color… it’s tough to beat a real looking paint job.
Love the action on it & it definitely gets fishes attention fishing in off colored, rippled water & folks have got to try it it in the dark, it’s like a dinner bell ringing !!!
