Fished in a shallow creek and caught a large trout with a slow roll and reel pop. The glide and sink rate were perfect for the cover. It feels solid and responds well to subtle movements.
Dylan White –
The lure has a smooth glide and stays in the water longer than expected. I used it during a morning drift and got a few bites. It’s a bit heavier than I thought, but that may help with stability.

After trying several lures, this one stood out for its slow sink and natural movement. The hand-crafted feel is evident, and it worked well in brushy areas with structure.
