About this piece
The Shimano Cardiff Wind Rip Stick 90S is a downsized sinking pencil bait designed for targeting pressured lake trout. At 90mm and 10g (without hooks), it achieves an average casting distance of 69m thanks to its compact, wind-resistant body and Jet Boost system. Its slow-rolling action and tight vibration on the fall mimic natural baitfish, making it ideal for fooling wary fish.
