The Cotee Buttoneye Minnow lure features replaceable, soft-plastic bodies - but these bodies can also be purchased separately (about $1.50 for a two-pack) and used as jerk baits for trout, redfish, snook and tarpon.
Rig them like other plastic baits by inserting a 4/0 or 5/0, wide-gap worm hook through the nose and then back up through the body. The hollow body has room to hold a cotton ball soaked in fish attractant. There's also a small pocket near the tail that's perfect for a rattle. The short, wide Buttoneye body casts like a bullet and catches fish when retrieved in a series of twitches.
