Field Notes

Cast and retrieve to work it across the surface, or vary your retrieve/rod angle to let it run down to about 10 ft. The rabbit-fur body and soft plastic tail help create lifelike movement for surface feeders and fish holding deeper.

Pros

  • Lifelike timber body with rabbit-fur realism
  • Soft plastic tail adds enhanced action
  • Can be worked on the surface or down to ~10 ft

Cons

  • Not a true lure type match (surface vs diving) without more specifics on lip/weighting
  • Depth control depends on retrieve speed and technique
