The casting distance is better than expected, especially in headwinds. The trebles are sharp and hold well. I like the color options and it’s easy to handle during a session.

Great for shallow water fishing. The bait floats just right and the movement on retrieve is very lifelike. Fish are quick to take it, especially in early morning.
