Strategic Angler CRUISER Lure

The perfect sinking lure to get you in the zone. These lures will stay in sight when the fish are cruising waiting for that perfect opportunity.  Cast and let the lure sink into the feeding zone then reel with a medium or fast retrieve to entice the strike.

TECHNIQUE

Swimming the Lure Ã¢â‚¬â€œ  The Cruising Series does best with a moderate to fast retrieve with an occasional pause.  The pause enables the lure to sink to the feeding zone while the retrieve creates a side to side motion.  The cruiser’s strike appeal comes from its quick erratic action mimicking a disoriented bait fish drawing them in for a strike.

A faster retrieve will enhance the action of the lure making it swim and erratically kick its tail.  I prefer to use this lure when the surface action is slow as the fish may be feeding deep. Cast it out pause and let it sink retrieve the lure and hold on!
