Field Notes

Fish it with a jerk/twitch retrieve to trigger its side-to-side gliding action, or straight retrieve for a steady flash. You can also troll it, and use pauses to let it slowly sink for added attraction. Target pike in the 1–3 m zone where it can run and flash during the glide.

Pros

  • Versatile retrieve options (jerk, twitch, straight, troll)
  • Side-to-side gliding action with belly flash
  • Slow sinking with a pause to draw strikes
  • High-grade hardware and trebles

Cons

  • Trebles can snag in heavy cover
  • Requires correct cadence to maximize gliding action
