That matters: in Southeast Asia and in Japan the cicada is a genuine seasonal food source, and fish looking up under a tree line will take an insect shape after ignoring everything else. At 4cm and 6.2g the lure carries about 1.6g of weight for every centimetre of body — the second lowest figure in this family and well under half the loading of the 4cm TR Baby Frog. In practice it lands with very little disturbance, floats high with the wing pattern showing, and can be left completely still without settling. Insect markings and a bright top make it easy to see, and flexible silicone skirt strands spread on the pause so the lure keeps twitching when the rod is not moving. Rear double hooks sit close against the body, giving less exposure than an open treble around light grass, though no lure is completely snag-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCicada-shaped hard body, 4cm and 6.2g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed insect body and wing pattern with a high-visibility finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow weight-to-length loading for a soft landing and a high float\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible silicone skirt keeps moving on a dead stop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClose-fitting rear double hooks for working near grass and shallow cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks on steady retrieves, short twitches and long pauses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSix colour patterns, 01 to 06\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Fish It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLand it and leave it\u003c\/strong\u003e — Cast tight to an overhanging branch, let the lure sit motionless for five to ten seconds, then move it.
