Spaz the Mouse - Fishing Tips
Fishing Tips: There are many productive ways to fish Spaz the Mouse. Cast it near weed beds or lily pads and retrieve with rhythmic slack-line twitches to produce a side-to-side action. Varying the strength of the line twitch will change the action of Spaz from a slight wiggle to a violent side-to-side splash. Try alternating a few twitches with a few reels. Pausing the retrieve will entice timid fish. The soft marabou tail will continue to move even after the lure is stopped. A slow steady retrieve will create a small natural wake and slight rear wiggle. For best results, coat the tail and whiskers with your favorite fish attractant, and tie it directly to your line with a loop knot or Rapala Knot
Buzz the Mouse - Fishing Tips
Fishing Tips: Buzz the Mouse is a premium buzzbait that is slow sinking, casts like a dream, quickly swims up to the surface. Unlike traditional buzzbaits, Buzz the Mouse is designed for a tip-down, variable speed retrieve. Its long strike zone is ideal for casting parallel to weed beds and structure. For best results, coat the tail and whiskers with your favorite fish attractant, and tie it directly to your line with modified slip knot
UV Reflective Coating?
We recommend using a UV coated lure when the water clarity is poor, or during low-light conditions.
"Fish appear to have quite well developed visual systems, comparable in some species to those of birds. Some have photoreceptors with peak sensitivities in the ultraviolet range. This may be because, like birds, they move about in a blue environment and need to contrast food sources or predators against a blue background." -Institute for Dynamic Educational Advancement
"UV light is short wavelength, high frequency energy from sun and stars, invisible to us, but visible to a variety of the fish species scientists have tested so far. About 60% of sunlight that cuts through the water’s surface is UV light. UV light penetrates clear water far deeper than human-visible light. Oceanographers have found UV light 700’ deep. The scales of many prey fish reflect UV light. Bluegills are an example. Zooplankton, shrimp, squid, and many aquatic insects also reflect UV light. This silhouettes them against their blue-green background, making these creatures more visible to their predators. UV light also polarizes, especially early and late in the day. Diverse gamefish detect polarized light. UV light makes up nearly all the light in deep, clear water. Mud, algal blooms, and glacial till absorb and scatter UV light decreasing the depth which it penetrates. Long wavelength, low frequency, non-UV light – red and infrared – will cut through murkier water better." - CSI Paints
