Vary the speed and intensity of your retrieve to create anything from a relatively subtle surface disturbance to an aggressive, commotion-filled presentation.

Each plug is individually turned, sealed against water intrusion, airbrushed, and finished with automotive-grade paints and protective coatings. Stainless steel thru-wire construction and heavy-duty components, including VMC 4X hooks, Wolverine stainless steel split rings, and Krok stainless steel swivels, provide the strength needed for demanding saltwater fishing.
