WHEN TO TIE ONE ON
The Realbaitz Blue Pilchard is a deadly offshore lure. It has been designed to perfectly imitate the real thing. It can be fished at all depths using a lift and drop technique or can be wound back to the boat. The custom designed tail is designed to imitate the fast-swimming action of the real fish. It can be used offshore in the deep and allowed to sink or over reef flats and wound back to the boat just above the bottom.
HOW TO USE
* we recommend 10-20lb outfits up to 20-40lb depending on the terrain you are fishing. Braided lines with a flouro leader will be best.
* Use a loop knot for the best action. It allows the lure to swim freely.
* Use a fast wind retrieve or allow it to drop to the bottom and hop it back to the boat for amazing results.
* This lure in all weights casts well and will give you a long cast and cover lots of ground.
THINK OUTSIDE THE SQUARE
* In the smaller sizes this will also make an excellent option for inshore fishing. Using a fast wind fast swimming pelagics will find it irresistible.
* Vary your retrieve slightly by adding in a downward pull of the rod tip causing the lure to accelerate, then decelerate.
