‘Merthiolate” Rat

$110
2 piece rat that cranks down, swims, walks and wakes. This isn’t your typical wake bait rat. It excels as a “sneaky swimmer” , getting just subsurface on medium retrieve with a killer swim. Rod tip down will allow the rat to dive a foot or so. Rod tip up with slow retrieve will wake. Lastly (and my fav) fishing up against docks and grass lines, walking and pausing. This rat has a killer “walk” ( 4.25” body - 1.8oz ) -stainless hardware. -recessed screw lock for tail. -custom tails. -gamakatsu ss magic eye hooks. -pitbull ss split rings. -Volk Outdoor custom lip
