The Menace from Livingston Lures is a predator lure with an attitude. Designed by musky and pike authority Steven Paul, the Menace is built to put trophy class fish in the net when other presentations fall short. The Menace packs a heavy punch in a small frame, thanks to its aggressive trident style tail and radically soft body design. This lure excels in pull pause jerkbait presentations, delivering erratic, strike inducing movement, but it’s just as deadly when worked like a popping tube, bouncing off structure and through ambush zones. The Menace’s fast, vertical fall is perfect for forward facing sonar applications and provokes violent reaction strikes from apex predators tracking their prey from below. During the pause or on the fall, the Menace’s rounded belly produces an irresistible rocking wobble that mimics a stunned or fleeing baitfish exactly what triggers commitment from big fish. The Menace is powered by Livingston’s EBS™ (Electronic Baitfish Sound) Technology, which guarantees it doesn’t just move like prey it sounds like it, too and effectively called fish in from double the distance of traditional lures. 

STEVEN PAUL PRO TIP Fish the Menace with aggressive pulls followed by long pauses to take full advantage of its erratic action and rocking fall. When using forward-facing sonar, position the lure above suspended fish and let it fall naturally through the strike zone. Many of the most violent strikes occur on the pause or during the initial drop as predators commit to what appears to be an easy meal.
