While many baits are supposed to imitate a prey fish as closely as possible, the Drunk Bait goes a step further and imitates a staggering, almost drunk-looking potential victim - hence the name Drunk Bait!
DRUNK BAIT - THE PERFECT PREY FISH
The " drunk effect " is created by a very thin tail wrist to a relatively large paddle tail, which sends strong pressure waves at high frequency as a bite stimulus to the predatory fish. The unusual appearance and staggering behaviour of the “ drunkies ” can make all the difference, especially when the fishing pressure is high and the number of prey fish is high. The Drunk Bait with its 8cm was developed for zander and perch fishing, but has also been able to tempt a number of pike, asp, catfish and even carp to bite.
Since the action of the bait is only generated in the last third, relatively large jig heads can be used - 3/0 to 4/0.
ALL DRUNK BAIT FEATURES AT A GLANCE
- Thin tail wrist + large paddle tail ensure a high-action drunk effect
- Large, gaping mouth - for a perfect embedding of the jig head
- The action occurs only in the last third of the bait. This means that the hook can be chosen to be quite large (3/0 or 4/0), which leads to significantly fewer missed bites
- Pectoral fins for micro-vibrations during vertical and drop shot fishing
- Some baits are uv-active
- Suitable for saltwater fishing
