The 13cm darter in the color firetiger (original version built by Loz Harrop), is a slow sinking darter with a wide glide-path when you jerk it back. If you keep your rod up while you jerk it back, this jerkbait can be fished above weedbeds with ease. This jerkbait has seen the inside of the mouth of several pike and, as you can imagine, it has been repaired several times already with clear lacquer and waterproof feltpens. A success both in rivers, to target the shoreline, and in shallow drains.
