In a river drift, try a slow, controlled pull that keeps the lure moving through seams, eddies, and current edges. Trolling a shallow or mid-depth pass can help you maintain contact with structure and cover while monitoring depth with the count.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eQuality and reliability matter, and this lure’s tungsten core weights are designed for a dense feel and short setup time on the water.
