Key Specs
Features
- + Hybrid Action Design: Combines the erratic movement of a propbait, the wake of a wakebait, and the profile of a swimbait. The patented clear lip creates a natural, snake-like swimming motion at slow speeds and aggressive splashing at high speeds.
- + Versatile Multi-Species Lure: Effective for catching predatory game fish including Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth, Pike, Walleye, and Musky. Ideal for use in both clear water where realism counts and stained water where vibration triggers strikes.
- + Dynamic Retrieve Control: Performs effectively at speeds from 0.6 to 2.8 mph. Use a straight retrieve for a consistent wake or varied speeds to trigger reaction strikes. The wire-through-body construction withstands violent strikes from trophy fish.
- + Premium Hardware & Build: Constructed from durable, eco friendly materials for fishing. Rigged with premium VMC 7548 BN X-Short Inline hooks designed to maximize hook-up ratios and prevent hook tangling during the cast.
- + Tournament Grade Tackle: The unique displacement lip moves water significantly to call fish from a distance, making it an essential addition to any topwater tackle box.
