The Dartwing concept was created to mimic skipping baitfish and entice any predatory fish to strike. Representing the ultimate surface skipping popper, the Dartwing’s unique Dartwing "winged" head design makes the lure dart erratically from side to side when wound across the surface, looking like a scared injured baitfish. It can be worked with a fast retrieve and with a twitching rod tip action to make the lure bounce across the surface, where the Dartwing design creates maximum surface disturbance and side to side action.
The 165 and 220 Dartwing is ideal for Tuna, King Mackerel, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, Bluefish, Stripers, Cubera Snapper and any surface feeding predatory fish. The super strong BKK hooks, Gorilla Through Wire system and HD ABS construction all
combine to make this a formidable opponent for even the toughest fish.
