About this piece

- Overwhelming casting distance even against headwinds
- Forward rolling fall action (shimmy fall) triggers strikes
- #6 hooks handle unexpected big fish despite the small body
- Clear color ideal for mimicking microscopic bait in clear water
- Slow to fast retrieve speed without losing stability
Best for
- Targeting fish keyed on microscopic bait like whitebait
