Description

The Mattlures 13" DeadTwitch is the first large trout bait Matt has officially released to the public. The realism of this bait is absolutely ridiculous. This is some of Matt’s finest work and you won’t find a more realistic trout bait anywhere. The Deadtwitch is a floating single jointed, soft bodied bait with a hard interior core. The bait is more than just a deadstick bait. It can be worked to. It will easily do a 180 with a medium twitch. It will slow walk with lighter twitches , and you can even make it tail slap or dive with harder twitches. As A dead stick bait, the top of the baits sits slightly above the water with the top fin sticking out of the water for visibility. Just let it bob in the ripples of the water and the bait comes to life. The fins and tail section all have their own movement witch add to the realism of this bait. It looks like a freshly stocked injured trout. Big bass and Stripers can’t resist this easy big meal. The bait is approximately 13" and weighs 14oz. It is equipped with 2 Owner st-41 2/0 treble hooks.

Field Notes

This is a large realistic trout-style soft bait for big bass and stripers, especially when fish are keyed on trout forage. It can be deadsticked so it sits high in the water, or twitched to make it turn, slow-walk, tail slap, or dive for a more active presentation.

Pros

  • Highly realistic trout profile and finish
  • Floating design works for deadstick or twitching retrieves
  • Single-jointed body adds lifelike movement

Cons

  • Large 14 oz bait requires heavy tackle
  • Best suited to anglers targeting trophy fish
  • Treble hooks can make it cumbersome around cover
