The nickel-finished head features a subtle pink highlight on the lower jaw and a prominent yellow eye, while the body currently holds a green flake silicone tail. An additional brown tail with red flakes is included, allowing for color adaptation based on water clarity or target species like zander, pike, or salmon. Identified by product code 21223, this USA-made lure retains a 5/5 condition rating with clean hardware and supple soft components. The single treble hook is securely attached to the belly, ready for use across a variety of freshwater environments.
