Lures That Are All Business Up Front, Party in the Back

Anglers who live along the coasts may be used to seeing real mullet swimming, flipping, and dodging predators — often in the same brackish backwaters where they’re chasing largemouth bass. But here’s the thing: you don’t have to live near saltwater to throw a “mullet.”

Mullet-pattern baits are a near-universal baitfish imitator. So don’t shy away from them if you live in the heartland, as they can represent white bass, wipers, and pretty much any silvery baitfish.

Here are our favorite mullet-inspired lures at Tackle Warehouse — some that imitate the fish, others that celebrate the legend.
