Common Concerns Answered
Are the hook sizes appropriate for all inshore species?
The included No. 2/0 VMC coastal black inline single hooks are robust for larger gamefish. For smaller species or finicky feeders, anglers may consider downsizing hooks based on prevailing conditions.
Does this lure require a special retrieve technique?
Achieving the optimal aggressive walk-the-dog action is dependent on a consistent cadence of short rod twitches combined with moderate pauses. Experimentation with retrieve speed will maximize its enticing movement.
Is the slow-sinking nature of this lure suitable for my local fishing conditions?
The slow-sinking characteristic excels in current or when predators are holding just above the bottom. Its 1-2 foot diving depth makes it ideal for shallow flats and structure where ambush predators patrol.
