Description

If you are looking for that bass of a lifetime then this is the bait for you. The Mattlures Dead Twitch Trout is arguably the most realistic rainbow trout bait on the market, and also one of the largest. Weighing in at 14.4-ounces and measuring in at 13-inches in length, this behemoth was created for one thing - catching big bass. Built with the components needed to tackle beastly bass, the Dead Twitch Trout is outfitted with 100lb split rings and an eyelet that’s located inside of the bait's mouth.The jointed tail of the Dead Twitch Trout has the mobility to move a full 180-degrees. When gently twitched it moves through the water with all of the natural action of a rainbow trout. The recommended technique for fishing the Mattlures Dead Twitch Trout is to deadstick it, while occasionally applying a slow and steady twitch. In the water it sits just below the surface with the dorsal fin fully exposed along with part of the tail. In addition to the two beefy 2/0 Owner hooks on the belly, another eyelet was built onto the top of the bait to allow anglers the option of choosing alternate hook positions. If your hitting the lake with Mattlures Dead Twitch Trout make sure to break out the big gear, and also make sure that there’s plenty of film in your camera.
