Design & Performance Features
- The Teardrop Physics: True to its name, this shape features a rounded, bulbous front end that smoothly tapers down to a narrower rear collar. This unique aerodynamic profile has incredibly low drag, allowing it to slice cleanly through high-speed swells without rolling over or creating heavy water resistance.
- High-Speed Stealth Action: Because it cuts through the ocean smoothly rather than aggressively digging like a cup-faced chugger, the Teardrop delivers a rapid, high-frequency swimming vibration. It perfectly mimics a small, frantic bullet bait (like a frigate mackerel or flying fish) sprinting away from predators.
- Trolling Spread Specialty: This head handles high trolling speeds—from 10 to 14+ knots—flawlessly without blowing out of the wake. It is the ultimate weapon when deployed in the shotgun position far back down the center line, or run on a long outrigger in clean water
