Freedom Tackle Herring Cutbait - Hard-Bodied Trolling Lure for Versatile Water Column Coverage

Meet the Freedom Tackle Herring Cutbait

The Herring Cutbait introduces a new level of trolling responsiveness with a crisp roll and lifelike paddle dynamics. Built as a hard-bodied lure, it stays sturdy under fast passes and heavy trolling alike, ready to perform across a range of water conditions. Its UV coating and selective glow paint accents add visibility where light shifts and water clarity vary, so you can rely on a consistent profile from sunrise to dusk.

Why this lure shines in the water

Designed to deliver a compelling action, the Herring Cutbait can be used in several popular trolling configurations. Its motion is described as "tantalizing" in the water, helping to create a readable wake that predators can track even when they are sight- or scent-driven. The lure’s design emphasizes control and resilience, making it a practical choice for boaters who value dependable performance on long days at sea.

• Top trolling performance: a hard-bodied lure with a convincing roll across multiple setups.
• Perfect action: consistent motion when trolled behind a flasher, a paddle, or on its own.
• Versatile: compatible with dipsy divers or down-riggers to cover from surface to depth.
• Durable: through-wire construction stands up to the demands of fast, high-energy trolling.
• Ready for anything: UV coating plus glow paint options; rigging included with 40 lb mono leader and bearing swivel.

Rigging and build quality

Each lure ships with a ready-to-use setup, including a 40 lb mono leader and a bearing swivel. The through-wire construction adds rigidity for repeated, aggressive trolling passes, while the UV coating helps boost visibility in changing light. Glow paint options provide an extra edge in low-light scenarios, helping the lure remain conspicuous in unsettled water or after dark.

Real-world use scenarios

Use the Herring Cutbait behind a flasher for a tracking, shimmering wake, or run it on its own for a cleaner profile. It’s well-suited for applications behind dipsy divers or down-riggers, allowing anglers to explore different depths and speeds to find where active fish are feeding. The lure’s roll and balance are designed to draw attention in a crowded lure spread, offering a practical option when you want a dependable, repeatable action day after day.
