Cast it, troll it, jig it.

The Al’s Goldfish Forty Niner is now available in two sizes!

The Al’s Goldfish Forty Niner has long been valued as a trolling lure and casting lure in open water for bass, trout and salmon, and as an outstanding ice jig for large freshwater species such as lake trout, walleye and northern pike and muskie. This lure has become so popular with anglers for its distinctive shape and erratic action, we are now producing it in a smaller version, the Lil’ 49er, weighing in at 1/4 oz, and measuring 1-3/4” long. Anglers can now get all that same flash and wobble in a smaller lure, configured for open water and ice, and can continue to catch bass, trout and salmon, or target even smaller species like crappie and other panfish. Proudly manufactured in the USA.

    The Forty Niner is a good casting lure, and a fabulous trolling lure. The flatfish-style head creates vibration and flutter as the flat face helps it dive. Check out the videos posted on the product pages of how this lure swims and you'll see why fish strike.
