Item Specifics:
- Brand: Star Lures (Designed by Capt. Jerry Miller, Florida)

Design & Construction Details:
- The Square-Block Core: Features Capt. Miller's iconic internal design—the inner ballast weight is a square-edged rectangular block rather than a simple rounded slug.
- High-Contrast Black Backing: The rear face of the internal square block is poured with a solid black/dark pigment backdrop. This was intentionally engineered to provide a high-contrast dark field, making the massive moving eyes visually pop against the glass-clear outer resin wrapper under water.
- Aggressive Bubble Trail: The large concave cupped face grabs surface air, dives aggressively, and plows a dense, unbroken "smoke" trail of white water right through the prop wash.
- Premium Skirting: Double-skirted on molded hips featuring a beautiful, classic dark purple, black, and heavy holographic silver glitter flake pattern.
