The 4 piece trout is 12 inches and approximately 9.5 ounces. The bait is an ultra realistic swimming hard bait trout replica. It is made of an extremely durable resin. The paint process has over 20 steps that combine to achieve a beautiful and correct trout pint scheme. The bait performs well at all reasonable speeds and looks especially deadly at a slow steady creep. I recommend a slow steady retrieve with some pauses and bursts thrown in. The bait can also be used as a dead stick bait. The bait is equipped with all stainless-steel hardware and premium hooks.
