This very loud, deep-diving, violent-actioned crankbait has been a bit of a turn-up. Although from the
side it looks like a standard 'alphabet'-shaped plug it is in fact quite narrow, so it's an easy bite for
quite small fish. It dives as deeply as I need when trolled, even on 50lb test braid. It is really useful
for search trolling, that big lip keeps it out of a lot of trouble and it'll find pike on the hardest days,
and occasional good zander when water temperatures are right. I've only just begun to realise how effective
it is for casting as well, easy to crank down, twitch and stall, keeping it in the pike's face despite its
buoyancy. It isn't perfect though - we've broken a few lips off when trolling fast and crashing them into
the river bed, and that treatment is also probably responsible for some of them leaking after a few trips,
I thought it wouldn't matter if they took on some water but in fact it spoils the trim and they will not
run so deeply at speed, so I dry them out and seal them with epoxy.
