Description

It is a Ripless lure that uses wood to shed water, but it is a water entanglement that makes bite. It has the best features here. Smooth slide movement. Strike naturally with retrieve speed, rod work, line control, and water twist. Because of the good water entanglement, you can clearly feel the movement of the lure itself through the rod from slow retrieve to fast retrieve. The track record of catching a large number of big bass has led me to believe in the existence value of the negotiator.
