In Hot Tiger Pike, this 25 cm lure catches light and triggers pursuit responses, especially in cooler water when visibility can be lower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe lure pairs an ABS body with a soft PVC tail for durability and responsive movement. A six-point stainless plate keeps the tail securely attached, while the wafting curl tail creates a wide, side-to-side roll that can draw attention from wary predators. When retrieved, the body rolls and the tail pulses behind, delivering a natural motion that anglers recognize as potential forage in many waters. When paused, the tail acts like a parachute, stabilizing the lure as it sinks into the depths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eWhy this design stands out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eABS body with soft PVC tail for durability and lifelike movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSix-point stainless plate tail locking system to keep the tail secure\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eWafting curl tail plus body roll that creates wide, enticing vibrations\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eVMC Coastal Black treble hooks for reliable hookups\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSlow sink rate ideal for cold water and tough conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eDepth and size are tuned for flexible mid-depth fishing.
