About this piece

- Triple-jointed body generates a wide, high-appeal swinging retrieve to trigger strikes
- Scale Boost holographic finish replicates real baitfish scales with complex underwater reflections
- Symmetrical tail design allows quick, orientation-free replacement; sharp wire tip ensures secure hold
- Compact 77mm length and 5g weight ideal for matching small forage like smelt or juvenile ayu
- Armed with two #12 hooks for reliable hooksets on subtle takes
Best for
- Clear water and heavily pressured bass that shy away from fast presentations
