Advantages and Strengths of the Deviant Jerkbait
The
Deviant jerkbait stands out for its exceptional ability to attract pike forcefully from afar. Thanks to its massive flat sides generating impressive water displacement, predators are immediately alerted and stimulated. Its
versatile swim allows for easy animation variation to trigger strikes, even when predatory fish are apathetic or inactive.
The uniqueness and spectacular visual effect of its
light flashes make it a true asset for captivating the attention of pike and provoking their aggression. Furthermore, its large internal beads give it a
deep sound, ideal for triggering the aggressive reflex of predators, even in difficult conditions like murky or overfished waters.
Finally, its technical design makes it an easy lure to cast accurately. Its
innovative internal mass transfer system allows the jerkbait to be propelled over long distances, ideal for quickly prospecting large water areas or reaching distant zones inaccessible with traditional lures.
Usage Tips and Recommended Setup for the Deviant Lure
To fully exploit the potential of the
Deviant, opt for a simple setup with a discreet yet robust leader made of fluorocarbon or soft steel to withstand pike teeth. The lure is directly attached using a strong clip allowing it to maintain optimal movement freedom.
Among the ideal retrieval techniques, you can choose between:
- A gentle to moderate linear retrieval highlighting its famous very attractive natural S swim
- A quick series of twitches or sharp rod jerks, causing pronounced lateral deviations highly effective for triggering reflex strikes
In situations where the fish is positioned deeper or is passive, using additional weight via the point of attachment provided under the throat will be an excellent option to efficiently prospect lower water layers.
