Smack Fall Trout With Tasmanian Devils
T
he Tasmanian Devil Lure came to life in the late ‘ 70s when the Wigston Family of Australia decided to market the lure that they first began developing in the early ‘ 60s .
Tasmanian Devil lures are hard to categorize . They aren ’ t really a plug and they certainly aren ’ t a spoon either .
What is certain is that the lures have a seductively erratic action that mimics the movements of a panicked baitfish well . In short the action they display is perfect for tempting hyper aggressive fall trout !
These lures aren ’ t painted . Instead the color is locked between the layers of clear plastic that make up the lure body . This way the colors never get dull or chipped . The lures work great when trolled and they are even deadlier when cast and retrieved . Tasmanian Devils are very aerodynamic so they cast easily .
On the retrieve , imparting a few twitches of the rod tip causes the lure to dip , dive and act generally wounded . This is the kind of abrupt movement that triggers strikes from predatory gamefish particularly fish like trout and landlocked salmon that prey of baitfish such as shad and pond smelt . - www . tasmaniandevillures . net .
