Used this for a walleye outing and caught two fish in under 30 minutes. The tail movement is very natural, even when dragged slowly. Holds up well after being pulled multiple times.
Nathan Wallace –
Great for bottom fishing. The soft, buoyant action makes it stand out in the water. A little more movement than expected, which helps attract fish.
Alison Walsh –
Fished in cold water and still got bites. The durability is impressive—no tearing or losing shape after several casts. Definitely worth the pack.
Pippa Henderson –
The five-piece pack is convenient. Works well in both slow and fast retrieves. Slightly more expensive than other soft plastics, but the realism justifies it.
