Natalie Roberts –
The orange body stands out in the water and the legs wiggle naturally. I used it in shallow flats near the Yucatán and saw several permit take it. It’s a solid choice for surface fishing.
Carol Alsop –
Good floatation and realistic movement. Works well in calm waters. A bit expensive per unit, but effective for targeting permit.
Sally Lyman –
Tied in Calgary as mentioned. The foam keeps it afloat and the color is vibrant. I caught a permit on it during a morning cast. Highly recommended.
