Description
Luhr-Jensen 20' Jet Diver | Boat Supply Store
Engineered for challenging river environments, this 3-1/2 inch diving lure employs a unique buoyant mechanism to achieve a 20 ft. running depth. It dives under pressure and floats free when pressure is released, making it exceptionally effective for presenting baits precisely near the river bottom and actively bumping over structure. The Clear UV Moon Jelly color, enhanced with a UV-bright finish, increases light energy reflection for superior underwater visibility, crucial for targeting bottom-dwelling gamefish during river back-trolling applications.
