The V9's unique teardrop blades generate water resistance, driving higher RPMs even at slower speeds, and creating more flash and vibration to attract fish. Its carefully shaped wire transmits these vibrations to the hydrodynamic head and responsive skirt, enticing strikes. The V9's keel-weighted design ensures it tracks true and recovers quickly, performing well at varying speeds. Skirt fibers, hand-tied to a wide neck, allow for dynamic movement. Note: The V9 is designed for medium-fast to slow retrieve speeds, and may rise in the water column at very high speeds.
