- on
The wake mullet lure is quickly becoming a member favorite since its launch in May 2025, because it gets great results with minimal effort.
The video below will show you some tips on how you can maximize your fish-catching results while using this unique lure.
Here’s what this video covers:
✅ How to fish it in super shallow water
✅ How to customize depth coverage
✅ How to tie ideal knot for maximized action
As you’ll see, it is very unique lure that allows you to run it just barely under the surface like a wake bait while also having it dive down under the surface when the fish aren’t as aggressive.
Conclusion
This is a must-have lure for inshore anglers who like fishing in shallow water for big redfish, seatrout, snook, flounder, and other inshore saltwater species.
It casts extremely far, has great action, and gets strikes from any species that feeds on 3 to 4 inch mullet.
And given that we offer a 1oo% satisfaction guarantee on this lure, you have nothing to lose by giving it a shot.

Realizing there are no absolutes or 100%’s in fishing…I’ve heard from other anglers that top water plugs are only good in the early morning or at dusk. Any truth to this? Or can this lure be used at any time.
There will be some days where topwater can work great throughout the entire day, but the twilights and at night are when they excel most of all during the warm months.
While the sun is up, subsurface lures will almost always beat topwaters during the summer months.
Luke, thank you. Is it possible to explain that theory/ concept a little deeper? I’m assuming that has to do with water temperature and different depths?
Just trying to really understand why you use certain lures at certain times of the day.

Excellent Thank you
I guess i need to start using mine mor because I have all the colors like all the rest of your lures that saltstrong sells that u bought in the past but I would think that a stop and go retrieve maybe with a few twitches added on occasion would be better especially when the reds or trout are in an active mood because it would seem to be mimicking a wounded muller or dying shad but obviously a strait retrieve works the best because that is what you demonstrated in this video now I just have to use mine thanks for the info and all you do😉👍
This lure should work extremely well up in your north FL waters. And lures like this are very good at night since they give off a lot of vibrations. Although a straight retrieve is normally all that’s needed with this lure, it certainly won’t hurt if you included some stops and twitches on occasion to see if the fish respond to them or not.
Thanks for the awesome video and I will be trying the wake mullet the next time I go out fishing 🎣 Tight Lines!!! 🎣🎣🎣
Thanks for making time to post the nice comment Harvey! Please keep us posted on how you do once you’ve had time to try this lure out.
Great info on the wake mullet Luke.
was heading back to flamingo yesterday but had to stay close to home do to a thunderstorm coming out of the glades.
gave the wake mullet a try on one of our flats but nobody home.
did get a few small barracuda on the skinny lipper. Can’t wait to give it another try.
Blessings and tight lines
This lure should be excellent at Flamingo since the water there is usually murky… this lure gives off a good amount of vibration that helps fish in murky/churned water find it.
nice illustration, 6-12 inches depth is really perfect for many flats, I should be using this wake mullet more frequently
