65mm | 18g | Floating | Hardbait

The Chasebaits The Smuggler 65 mm 18 grams Floating Lure 02 is a hard lure built around a practical inshore presentation rather than a one-speed retrieve.

The important thing is to fish it according to what the body is doing in the water.

If it tracks tightly, use steady retrieves and speed changes.

If it kicks or slides, use twitches and pauses to make it look less perfect and more vulnerable.

Start with a steady retrieve to learn the lure’s natural rhythm, then add short rod taps, sweeps, or pauses once you know how it responds.

Most hard lures get more bites when the retrieve changes just enough to make following fish react.

A lure that swims perfectly in a straight line can get followed; a lure that breaks rhythm often gets eaten.

At 65mm | 18g | Floating | Hardbait, it is best used around bait schools, rock edges, flats, drains, pontoons, and current seams where predators are already hunting.

It is not a replacement for every lure in the box.

If fish are deep, go heavier or deeper.

If fish are spooky in glassy water, slow the retrieve and keep the profile natural.

Because this variant is mainly identified by its finish name/code, the safest way to think about it is by visibility on the day.

Use it when the contrast matches your water and light level, and switch to a brighter or more natural finish when the conditions clearly call for it.

TARGET SPECIES: sea bass, trevally, queenfish, bluefish, flatfish, mangrove jack, snapper, and other inshore predators feeding around bait.
