Illex Riser Bait 012SL

Illex Riser Bait 012SL. The Illex Riser Bait 012SL is the slim long version of this family of lures that has revolutionized the world of topwater. The secret of this lure lies in the inclination of the blade which, despite having a sinking set-up, transforms it, depending on the speed of recovery and the inclination of the rod, into a topwater or subsurface. Its swimming is erratic, somewhat reminiscent of that of a WTD but, unlike these, the Riser Bait must be retrieved in a linear way. The fishing action can be set in two ways. A first technique consists in immediately launching and recovering the lure, essentially exploiting only its surface attractiveness. This is an excellent system when you have to deal with fast fishing such as quick eats, when you have to beat a lot of water or when fishing during the twilight phases of the day or at night. The second system is instead to let the Riser Bait 012SL sink a little and then recover it by making it resurface towards the surface. With this technique we will also obtain the "jig" effect with a flickering of the falling lure which, once put into recovery, will perfectly simulate the escape towards the surface of a frightened prey. This second style can be used both during stable feeding and on various types of seabed when a visual appeal can be very important. As for the casting distances, these are facilitated by the high density of the lure's body, 31.2g per 12cm, which makes it a real projectile to cast compared to smaller versions. the Riser Bait 012Sl has been tropicalized with a steel through armor and VMC 7556TI size #2 treble hooks. It is a perfect lure for searching for flatfin tuna, bluefin tuna, bluefish and roach. In the tropics it is excellent for trevally, barracuda, dolphin fish and large snapper.
