Measuring a substantial 6" (15cm), the clear holographic body of this specimen allows light to pass through while reflecting a spectrum of colors from the internal foil. This Matzuo Captain Hook Sinking, identified by Product Code 14737, carries a significant weight of 2 3/4 oz (75g), making it a powerhouse for long-distance casting or deep trolling. The deep red translucent head transitions into a transparent tail, revealing a textured internal scale pattern that mimics a baitfish's natural flash. This design is highly effective for a wide range of species, including pike, salmon, and zander, thanks to its variable depth capability. Its oversized gold eyes are set deep into the red molding, creating a high-contrast target for predators. The heavy-duty treble hooks are securely attached via robust split rings, while the cupped mouth is built to displace water even when used as a sinking sub-surface lure. The finish is remarkably clean, showing it to be an unused specimen that has been well-preserved. 6/5.
