How to Use the Dartwing Surface Bait

How to Use the Dartwing Surface Bait

Designed to mimic a skipping bait fish, the Dartwing’s aerodynamic, rear weighted shape makes it a distance casting weapon. 

The Dartwing’s unique wing shaped head design creates a very versatile surface presentation that can be retrieved at just about any speed to mimic bait fish and shrimp. On a straight retrieve the wings cause a side-to-side darting action and body roll that just gets fish excited. ​A fast retrieve and with a twitching rod tip make the Dartwing skip across the surface creating maximum surface disturbance and side-to-side action. The floating version worked slow produces a side-to-side twitching ‘walk the dog’ action with a subtle spitting effect that creates an action unlike any other surface bait.

Long casting with action at a fast retrieve makes the Dartwing an excellent searching lure when covering ground or chasing fast moving fish.
