Description

Designed to be thrown in the heavy winds on the Ca Delta. This short compact wakebait is stout in profile but has two Decoy quad XS-21's to gain maximum hook points per square inch. The countdown version of this bait can be fished in the depths that traditional crankbaits cannot reach. Depending on line size and make up the countdown can effectively get down to 20-40'. If you keep the tip up after casting the bait will effectively wake on the surface with the option of sinking out as you near structure or weed edges. Often the fish leave the bite open for interpretation, can you evolve with the bite?

Field Notes

Designed for long casts in heavy wind and can be worked as a wakebait on the surface or counted down to reach deeper water. Use it around structure and weed edges when fish are following but not fully committing, and adjust line size to control depth. The bait’s versatility makes it useful for covering water and then sinking into strike zones.

Pros

  • Compact profile handles wind well
  • Can wake on the surface or count down deep
  • Versatile around structure and weed edges

Cons

  • Depth depends heavily on line choice and retrieve
  • Premium price point
  • May be technique-sensitive for beginners
