Description

Designed to aggressively stir the surface of the water on a steady retrieve, the RAID Japan Micro Dodge Big utilizes a soft-bodied construction that allows anglers to reach hard-to-access fish by aggressively shooting them under docks and overhanging cover. Built using a high buoyancy elastomer material, the Micro Dodge features a wide and deeply grooved hook pocket on the abdominal side that allows anglers to install a 4/0 or 5/0 offset hook with weedless or top-hook style rigging. The fully detachable Micro Dodge wings can be tuned for the optimum action and removed completely when you need to adjust the angle of the wing after a fierce fight or if they are bent from retrieving the lure from a snag. Providing the versatility to effectively fish a crawler in and around heavy cover, the RAID Japan Micro Dodge Big is finished with a shiny tinsel tail that boosts attraction and creates added resistance in the water to encourage stable crawling action. RAID Japan Length Weight Class Micro Dodge B.I.G. 2.6" 1/2oz Topwater Please Note: Avoid contact with other soft baits or resins during storage to avoid deformation or dissolution. The manufacturer recommends storing it in the original packaging.

Field Notes

This is a soft-bodied topwater crawler designed to be retrieved steadily across the surface to create commotion and draw strikes. It is especially useful around docks, overhanging cover, and other hard-to-reach shallow targets where a weedless or top-hook rig can be worked through cover.

Pros

  • High-buoyancy soft body stays on top
  • Weedless/top-hook rigging versatility
  • Detachable wings can be tuned or removed
  • Good for fishing heavy cover

Cons

  • Soft material can deform if stored with other baits
  • Requires careful storage in original packaging
  • Best used with a steady retrieve rather than versatile subsurface presentations
