Description

In addition to the V-TAIL inherited from the VTS7, it also features horizontal fins. When used without a sinker and rod action is applied, it will suddenly jump up, and repeated twitches will create a panicky action in all directions. When the jig head is shaken, the tail vibrates by pushing water vertically and horizontally. The worm itself weighs 11g in saltwater, but there are many parts that receive water, so it falls quite slowly. It can be used with a wide range of rigs, from caro to heavy caro, free rig, and I-shaped settings.

Field Notes
