Fished in the coral reefs off Alphonse Island and caught a large permit with this lure. The double weed guard kept it from getting caught in sea grass. Very effective in heavy cover.

Used it during a morning trip with trigger fish. The crab pattern worked well and stayed on the line even in strong currents. A solid choice for tropical fishing.

The durability of the body and the hook strength made a difference when fighting larger fish. Tied on the recommended hook and performed as expected in real conditions.
