Considerations & Trade-offs
- Purpose-built for forward-facing sonar, so it’s most relevant when you’re actively locating fish and reacting quickly rather than fishing more general presentations.
- The heavy, weight-forward design is built for precision casts and fast sinking, which means it may not suit situations where a slower or more subtle fall is preferred.
- Its action-focused design is meant to be switched between techniques on the retrieve, so it may require more active input than a simple cast-and-retrieve bait.
- Pre-rigged with a Fusion19 hook, which is convenient, but it also means the setup is fixed rather than fully customizable out of the package.
