That internal weight arrangement does two jobs: it loads the bait for long casts, then shifts to give a steep dive angle so the lure reaches its 12–15 foot working depth quickly instead of burning half the retrieve getting there. It is also tuned to do more than dig bottom — the balancer magnifies rod input, so twitches and jerks in open water produce the irregular, deflection-style darting that pulls suspended fish off structure. At 76.2mm and 21g it is a compact body for the depth it reaches, which keeps it credible when fish are eating small forage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFloating deep-diving crankbait, 76.2mm (3 in), 21g (3\/4 oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTarget depth of 12–15 ft (roughly 3.7–4.6 m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatented Multi-Way Balancer System for casting distance and a steep dive angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalancer tuned to amplify twitches and jerks for irregular action in open water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFloats at rest, so it backs out of rock and timber on a pause\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitted with #4 Katsuage Out-Barb trebles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuited to offshore ledges, sloping points and deep grass beds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Fish It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong cast and steady grind\u003c\/strong\u003e — Make the longest cast you can, drop the rod tip to the water and wind steadily.
