MirrOlure Catch Jr. 22MR Suspending Twitchbait

The MirrOlure Catch Jr. 22MR is one of the most productive suspending twitchbaits ever designed for inshore saltwater fishing. Built with MirrOlure's legendary neutral buoyancy, the 22MR suspends in the strike zone between twitches, perfectly imitating an injured baitfish that predators simply can't resist.

Measuring 3 inches and weighing 3/8 ounce, the Catch Jr. is the ideal size for matching the smaller baitfish commonly found along Florida's Gulf Coast. With an erratic side-to-side darting action, internal rattles, and MirrOlure's signature reflective finish, it consistently produces strikes from snook, speckled trout, redfish, tarpon, and striped bass.

Whether you're fishing shallow grass flats, potholes, oyster bars, mangrove shorelines, docks, or bridge shadow lines, the Catch Jr. excels whenever fish are feeding on smaller bait or become less willing to chase faster-moving lures. Its suspending design allows anglers to keep the lure in the strike zone longer, often triggering bites from even the most pressured fish.

Premier Tackle Insight

The Catch Jr. 22MR is one of those lures we recommend when fish become selective. Around Sarasota, Bradenton, and Florida's Gulf Coast, it's especially effective after a cold front, during winter, or anytime snook and trout are feeding on smaller glass minnows or juvenile baitfish.

The biggest advantage of the 22MR is its ability to stay in the strike zone. Instead of immediately floating or sinking, it suspends naturally between twitches, giving fish extra time to commit. Our favorite retrieve is simple: twitch... twitch... pause. Most strikes happen during the pause when the lure hangs motionless like a stunned baitfish.

If you're building an inshore lure collection, the Catch Jr. is one of those confidence baits you'll reach for whenever the bite gets tough. It's a proven producer that has earned its reputation with anglers across Florida and beyond.
