Vary your retrieve speed and depth to locate feeding pollock, cod and bass.

Shore & Bass Fishing

Cast the lure beyond likely fish-holding areas and retrieve at a steady pace, allowing the tail to create its characteristic vibration.

Try varying your retrieve speed and incorporating occasional pauses to imitate a wounded or fleeing baitfish.
