Description

The Illude Double is proven to the Rad Rat family as the biggest fish catcher, most double digits, largest at 12 lbs. When we designed this bait, all we were thinking about was "bubbles!" Historically, baits that produce a lot of bubbles have an enormous impact on attracting fish. Classic examples of baits that cause enormous amounts of bubbles are the buzz bait, the jitter bug, the popper, and the infamous Whopper Plopper amongst many others. As we were thinking through our design criteria, we had to think of how we were able to build a bait that caused loud & obnoxious surface bubbles at a minimal retrieve speed. After testing our design, we found that creating a certain amount of space between the joints at a particular angle trapped the perfect amount of air to do so. And during the testing stages of our design, “boy was it fun!” We are extremely excited to give you our newest wood rat with the most obnoxious and noisiest surface bubbles you’ll ever fish. We hope that you enjoy and love fishing this bait, as much as, we love building them! Note: All Carbon fiber lipped baits will be an additional $10

Field Notes

Fish this as a surface bait when bass are feeding on top and you want maximum commotion. The description emphasizes loud, obnoxious surface bubbles at a minimal retrieve speed, so it fits slow, steady retrieves over open water or around cover where fish can key on surface disturbance.

Pros

  • Creates loud surface bubbles at slow retrieve speeds
  • Surface presentation can draw reaction strikes
  • Jointed design may add realism and wobble

Cons

  • Likely less effective in calm, highly pressured conditions
  • Surface bait can be limited by heavy wind or thick vegetation
