Usage tips and scenarios

In practice, anglers may notice the Sonar’s ability to maintain a strong vibrating action across methods, while still providing control over depth with simple retrieve adjustments. It’s a lure designed to support a thoughtful approach to freshwater fishing, offering possibilities rather than guarantees, and inviting you to test what works best for you.
