This one imitates a young snakehead. The 4cm soft body is moulded as a small snakehead fish, and that choice is not decoration — it targets a specific, well-known behaviour. Adult giant snakehead (toman) guarding a ball of fry will attack anything that looks like a rival or a predator moving over the school, and a lure shaped like a juvenile of their own species is exactly that trigger. Cast at the edge of a fry ball or worked over a guarded shallow, it draws a defensive strike from a fish that has already refused frogs. Away from spawning fish it still works simply as forage, because large snakehead, peacock bass and hampala readily eat smaller fish of any species. At 6.6g the body is dense enough to be pitched accurately into narrow openings. The double hooks sit close to the body, so the lure crosses light grass and weed with far less exposure than a treble-hooked lure — no lure is completely snag-free. A rear metal spinner blade rotates on the retrieve for extra flash, vibration and water disturbance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall snakehead-fish profile rather than a frog silhouette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft body that compresses on the bite so the hook points come clear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4cm at 6.6g — compact but dense enough for accurate casting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClose-fitting double-hook configuration for fishing around light cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear metal spinner blade for flash, vibration and surface disturbance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTextured finish, ten color patterns from natural greys and greens to bright orange and white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks on steady, twitching and stop-and-go retrieves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Fish It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork the fry ball\u003c\/strong\u003e — When you find a ball of snakehead fry with the parent fish under it, do not cast into the middle.
