That matters more than it sounds. Reservoir predators in Southeast Asia see frog imitations constantly, and pressured fish learn to ignore them — but they also feed opportunistically on anything that falls in and struggles, from small animals to injured fish. A squid outline with trailing tentacles reads as none of the usual food items and none of the usual lures, which is exactly why it draws a reaction from fish that have stopped committing to frogs. Flexible silicone tentacles spread, pulse and trail behind the body during the retrieve, adding vibration and lively movement while the hard body holds its shape and its rattle after repeated fish. At 4.5cm and 9g it is dense for its size and casts accurately into wind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTopwater hard body, 4.5cm and 9g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquid-inspired profile that presents an unusual silhouette to pressured fish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible silicone tentacles that spread and pulse on the retrieve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTentacles add vibration and visual attraction as the lure moves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrong close-fitting 2\/0 double-hook system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLower hook exposure than a treble-hook lure around light vegetation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuits steady, twitching and pause retrieves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeven colour patterns including three striped finishes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Fish It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteady swim with the tentacles working\u003c\/strong\u003e — Wind at a constant, moderate speed so the body tracks on the surface and the tentacles stream and pulse behind it.
