Considerations & Trade-offs
- The floating, highly buoyant body is a deliberate design choice, which can be an advantage in some presentations but is not the same as a sinking or suspending bait.
- The silent, non-rattling design may suit subtle approaches, but it does not provide the added sound profile some anglers prefer in a crankbait.
- The medium rolling action is specific rather than highly aggressive, so it may be better matched to certain retrieves and conditions than others.
- The square circuit board lip is part of the lure’s design, but it also means the bait is built around a particular action style rather than a more versatile all-purpose profile.
