How to fish the Bottledarter:
The lure is extremely versatile and can be fished a variety of different ways.
1. On those flat calm nights, the lure can be
swam on the surface much like a metal lip. A painfully slow retrieve
makes a nice wiggle and produces a surface wake that is sure to entice some nice fish.
2. On open beach without much current, a slow
steady retrieve works very well. Mix in a few twitches of the rod tip
to really make the lure dart.
3. The lure loves current rips. Cast this
lure out and just take up the slack to remain in contact with the lure
as it sweeps. Ever once and a while take a full crank on the reel while lifting your rod
tip (you will feel the lure really swim). Reel down slowly while
keeping tension on the line. Repeat this retrieve and hold on!
4. Loaded with 10cc’s of liquid. Our testing
shows that a loaded Bottledarter casts very well. The action is
slightly different than unloaded. The lure has more darting action and
has already taken some very nice fish!
