The 'VIPER' is a sleek mid weighted lure, with a narrow profile and deep body. This is an extremely easy lure to swim and has many applications.
The lure has been designed to sit horizontal at rest. This allows the nose to quickly dip, making it very tolerant to rough conditions. It is also great for fishing off the rocks.
Lure action:
It can be worked with a simple slow to rapid rod sweep. The lure will dive sub-surface, creating a tight 'S' shaped swim pattern, before floating back to the surface, often jagging off to one side.
Another great way to fish the Viper is to just cast and retrieve with speed . Ideal for fast moving pelagics or quickly prospecting large areas to find where the fish are.
As it is really well balanced, it can also be trolled up to 10 knots, depending on hook configuration.
Lure sizes, specs and recommended rigging:
The 'VIPER' works well with most hook configurations, but is the most stable with a treble on the belly and a single or assist on the tail. Double singles or assists with result in a looser action and double trebles will have a toned down stable action.
