Gerry’s Pro Tip
Work it with a wind-and-kill retrieve rather than a steady wind – the pause is where this lure really comes alive, looking exactly like a dying trout that a big pike simply can’t resist.
FAQs
Q: Can this lure be trolled as well as cast?
A: Yes, it’s specifically designed to be effective both cast and worked, or trolled behind a boat for covering large areas of open water.
Q: How deep does it run?
A: As a slow sinking lure it fishes shallow water naturally, and the additional wire eyelet under the chin accepts a switch weight for deeper presentations.
Q: What does the release plug do?
A: It’s a custom Westin design that disengages on the strike to reduce leverage against the fish, then resets quickly for your next cast.
Q: What size predators is this aimed at?
A: It’s built primarily for trophy pike and musky, given its large 25cm/195g profile.
