Freedom Tackle Clacking Topwater Mischief Minnow | 3.5-Inch, Chartreuse Pearl (PN: 45103)

Freedom Tackle Clacking Topwater Mischief Minnow is a 3.5-inch topwater lure designed to spark surface action when bass stalk the shallows. Center-mounted on the bait’s body, the patent-pending Kilter blade sits on an angled pin to deliver distinctive flash and vibration. During a steady retrieve, the lure’s side-to-side rolling motion creates a lively wake that mimics a distressed baitfish on the water’s surface. When you pause and rip, the blade and body respond with a quick, bone-jarring reaction that can grab attention from wary fish. The chartreuse pearl finish enhances visibility across lighting conditions, while the premium paint, rugged textures, and high-quality components are built for repeated casts and long days on the water.

Why anglers choose the Mischief Minnow

Paired with premium finishes and reliable hardware, the Mischief Minnow aims to deliver a compelling surface presence without promising results in every outing.
