The MOON Shiner
“They say on clear nights, you can see him walkin’ the ridgelines — lantern in hand, lures in his coat, leavin' a silver trail through the mist. Folks called him the Moon Shiner, not for drinkin’, but for how he lit up the creek with every cast.”
The MOON Shiner is a 1.4" hard sinking jerkbait, weighin’ 3.4g grams, made to flash like a minnow runnin’ scared. It’s deadly in clear mountain water, fast runs, and deep pools where bass, trout, and panfish lie in wait.
This bait sinks quick and swims true, with a shimmer that calls fish from the shadows. Run it upstream, pop it high off the rocks, or let it drift through a bend — it’ll shine wherever you throw it.
And if treble hooks ain’t your style, we offer Inline Single Hook Replacements for a cleaner, catch-and-release setup in tight creeks.
How to Fish It:
I cast it upstream, count a second, then give it two or three sharp pops upward to keep it movin’ and off the bottom. It also works great with slow retrieves, jigging, or reel-and-pause tactics — fish it like you mean it.
This ain’t just a jerkbait. It’s a piece of creek lore, passed down by moonlight and tied to the line of anyone who’s ever believed in magic after dark.

I bought one of these along with some inline hooks from Creek Life to use on the GA Delayed Harvest trout waters. I used this on the Chattachoochee section on Nov. 2. Other lures had limited success but this thing repeatedly caught trout. I don't know how many total I caught but the majority were with this lure in the Brooke Trout color.
Excellent for smaller streams. Well made. Good action. Changed to single hooks, works great.
I came to Creek Life for ultralight size in line hooks and found a treasure trove of great ultralight gear. I grabbed a couple of these tiny jerkbaits, changed out the hooks for inline single hooks size 10. Fish great, looking forward to delayed harvest trout season with these.
Love the quality of this little jerkbait. Casts really far with light mono or braid on an UL finesse rod. It has great action and have caught pan fish, bass and crappie on this. Can't wait to try it on the upcoming stocked rainbow trout season this winter.
