This innovative lure includes three distinct actions: the classic walking-the-dog technique, an energetic popping action, and a diving motion that stands out. Anglers can enjoy the thrill of engaging with the lure in various ways. "While all actions deliver excellent results, it is the diving action that truly takes centre stage," the Shimano representative elaborated. By lowering the rod tip and giving the lure a few bounces, fishermen can make it create a mesmerizing diving effect underwater, oscillating enticingly as it moves side to side.
