Yakima Bait M2 Flatfish The Flatfish has earned its reputation the old-fashioned way — it's been putting salmon in the boat across West Coast rivers for decades, and the wobbling, side-to-side action that made it a classic still gets bit today. At 4-1/4", the M2 is sized right for Chinook, Coho, and Chum, with a built-in tracking action that holds steady through slow to medium current without needing constant tuning. Fish it on anchor in a holding hole, back-troll it through a tidal stretch, or pull it slow behind the boat in lower river water where salmon are staged and moving. Many guides up and down Washington, Oregon, and California wrap a strip of sardine fillet under the belly to slow the wobble down and lay a scent trail behind it — a simple trick that turns a good plug into a great one. Available in proven West Coast patterns from natural Frog and Fire Tiger to bright Rotten Banana and Metallic finishes.
