Description

The tried and tested McCroaker has seen a few performance upgrades to improve hook up rates and improve the start up (the distance the bait travels before the legs start kicking). The addition of Easy Start Legs enables the bait to start kicking as soon as you turn the handle, keeping it in the strike zone for longer. The design team have also added a top hook slot that has been recessed for improved skin hooking and a bottom hook slot that extends all the way to the back of the bait to accommodate larger hook sizes.

Field Notes

Cast and retrieve with a steady, controlled handle turn so the “Easy Start Legs” begin kicking quickly and keep the bait in the strike zone longer. Use the top/bottom hook slots to match your preferred hook size and improve skin-hooking and hookup rates.

Pros

  • Easy Start Legs kick immediately for better time in the strike zone
  • Improved hookup rates with recessed top hook slot
  • Bottom hook slot supports larger hook sizes

Cons

  • Requires proper hook-up setup to take full advantage of the hook slots
