WINGMAN MIRAGE-X
Split Tail. Foil Flash.
The Wingman Mirage-X is built around control and visibility. The adjustable split tail lets you fine-tune action — fish it intact for a subtle glide or split it for increased movement with minimal input. Paired with Mirage-X internal foil, it adds consistent flash without overpowering the presentation, giving fish a clear visual target while keeping the action natural.
Available in 3.75", 4.5", and 5.25".

The Wingman 4.5" takes the proven finesse formula of the smaller model and scales it for bigger fish, deeper water and more aggressive retrieves while keeping all the subtle triggers that make pressured fish commit. The customizable split tail, disruptor fin and tail tip bulbs work together to generate flick, flash and pulse at any retrieve speed. With the added profile and stretch, it’s perfect for Snapper over reef edges, Barra in waterways or Flathead in tidal drains. Finished with Mirage-X foil, UV Glow, Tracer Scent and a soft PVC build it’s built to fool smarter fish when the pressure’s on.

STORAGE TIPS
PVC + TPE Don’t Mix
Crafted from high-quality PVC instead of TPE, the Wingman doesn’t have the super-stretchy feel of other baits in the Live Ops range, however the PVC allows for an ultra-finesse profile with delicate tails that move naturally, even on the slowest retrieve.
***JUST REMEMBER don’t store PVC and TPE lures together, as they can react and deform.
