Description

Pursuit of "water pushing" The stagger wide type is a twisting lure that pushes the water upwards.

I have been advocating "water push" for some time. The water push that I wanted for the Stagger Wide is a subtle "curl" of water on the water surface. This curl cannot be reproduced by the horizontal water push like the Flat Side type (A).

This distinctive body shape is designed to create a more powerful vertical water push against the water surface (B).

Even if the trace range is not just below the surface, but dives a little, the water pushing power is strong, so it is possible to intentionally express the distortion of the water.

"Slide Wide Action" Creates new waves on the water surface and underwater!

In addition to pushing water, the Stagger Wide also had new movements in the lure's action. It had a rolling body and a sliding zigzag action that twisted its body as if pushing through the water (C).

The body twists from the tail and then bounces back and forth repeatedly from its limit, creating a side-to-side sliding action. In other words, its greatest features are the upward water push by its fat, flat body and the torqueful kicking power that comes from the twisting of the entire body.

An interesting trick is to set the hook in the opposite direction (D) to create a fine sliding wide action. Try using it according to the situation.

TEXSAS RIG (3.5g and up)

At first glance it may seem overweight, but the flat body quickly engages with the water and creates an instantaneous sliding action after retrieval. The key to the sliding action is to lower the head.

NO-SINKER

This is the most recommended rigging style. If you start retrieving immediately after it hits the water, it will only have a straight action because it will not get tangled in the water as much. In this case, you can retrieve it quite slowly. If you let it sink a little and twitch it, it will act just like a stick bait.

If you want to create a sliding action with a no-sinker rig, you should wait until the tail of the lure sinks and catches the water before starting to retrieve it.

Important! How to set the hook

• Hook setting is important to effectively express the action of the Stagger Wide.
• The settings are the same when using offset hooks with no sinker, Texas, down shot, jig, caro, etc.
