The shape is not decoration. On reservoirs and impoundments across Southeast Asia, fledglings, swifts and small birds genuinely fall onto the water at the edges of flooded timber and shoreline scrub, and giant snakehead and hampala barb feed on them when they do. Just as importantly, on water that has been hammered with frogs season after season, fish learn the frog outline. A bird profile drawing a different wake, breaking the surface at a different angle, will regularly draw a strike from fish that have stopped committing to frogs. The 8.5g body casts well for its length, and skirt strands trail behind to keep something moving on the pause. A close-fitting 2\/0 double hook keeps exposure lower than a treble around light grass, but no lure is completely snag-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBird-shaped hard body, 4.5cm and 8.5g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilhouette and wake unlike a frog or minnow — an alternative on pressured water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible skirt strands add movement behind the body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2\/0 double hook mounted close to the rear of the body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDense enough for accurate casting into wind and to shoreline structure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNine colour patterns, including a hornbill finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Fish It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSlide and stall\u003c\/strong\u003e — Short sharp rod-tip pulls make the body skate sideways, then a stop lets it settle with the head up.
