Description

A New 6 cm / 5.7 g sinking trout lure designed for effective fishing in rivers and lakes. Its balanced weight allows for long and accurate casting, helping you cover larger areas of water. The lure works at a depth of 0.5 to about 1.5 meters, producing a strong vibrating X-action that effectively triggers predator strikes. It performs exceptionally well when fished with twitching techniques, creating erratic movements that imitate an injured baitfish. During a faster retrieve, the lure can suddenly dart up to about half a meter to the left or right, adding an unpredictable action that often provokes aggressive strikes. Perfect for trout and perch. 🎣

Field Notes

Best for rivers and lakes when fish are responding to an injured-baitfish presentation. Use twitching or a faster retrieve to make it dart erratically and trigger reaction strikes, especially when covering water or targeting active predators.

Pros

  • Long, accurate casting for its size
  • Erratic darting action can provoke reaction strikes
  • Effective in rivers and lakes

Cons

  • Shallow running depth limits use in deeper water
  • Small profile is less suited to larger pike and musky
