Lure Overview
This lure is engineered to mimic the small, fast-moving baitfish that predatory species key in on. It's specifically designed to target fish species that feed on micro bait, with a focus on realism, precision action, and an irresistible presentation.
Target Species
- Predatory Fish: Species such as striped bass, tuna, bonito, albacore, snook, tarpon, freshwater bass, pike, walleye, trout, and other gamefish that feed on small baitfish.
Key Features
- Micro Bait Simulation: The small size and natural movement closely mimic the behavior of micro baitfish, which makes it ideal when predatory fish are focusing on these small prey.
- Realistic Action: Designed to create a subtle, lifelike wobble and flash to attract predatory fish in various water conditions.
- Durable Construction: Built with quality materials to withstand aggressive strikes from toothy predatory fish.
- Versatile Retrieval: Can be used in various retrieval techniques such as steady retrieve, twitching, or slow rolling, allowing anglers to adjust the presentation based on the fish's feeding behavior.
Specifications
- Length: 2 1/4 inches (57.15 mm)
- Weight: 13 grams (0.459 ounces)
- Color Options: Available in a range of natural and bright colors to match local micro bait species (e.g., silver, chartreuse, or translucent hues).
- Material: Constructed with durable, high-quality resin to enhance durability and action.
- Hook Size: Typically equipped with BKK Lone Diablo size 1 or VMC O'Shaughnessy Treble 4X-Short Shank size 8, proportionate to the lure size, ensuring effective hook sets.
Optimal Conditions
- Water Depth: Best used in shallow to medium-depth waters where micro baitfish are abundant.
- Water Type: Suitable for both freshwater and saltwater applications, depending on the target species.
- Time of Year: Most effective during seasons when small baitfish are abundant; can be used year-round based on fish feeding habits.
Fishing Techniques
- Twitch and Pause: Giving the lure slight twitches during the retrieve can trigger predatory fish to strike, as it mimics a struggling micro baitfish.
- Slow Retrieve: Allowing the lure to move slowly through the water, closely mimicking the natural behavior of micro bait.
- Topwater or Subsurface: Depending on the target species and water conditions, you can fish it just below the surface or allow it to sink slightly for subsurface presentation.
This refined resin lure is a game-changer for anglers targeting both saltwater and freshwater species. Its carefully designed features and versatile functionality make it an essential tool in any fishing arsenal.
