The Wicked Wacky has a hand tied
weed guard for heavy cover
The Wicked Wacky features a hollow tube which is
hand tied to the shank. One you tie a knot on the lure you can run the tag end
of the line through the tube and tie it on to the weight. This keeps the line in
perfect position for pitching into heavy cover or for heavy drop shot
applications.
A hollow tube hand tied to the
shank hold line securely
The Wicked Wacky will be available in sizes from
1/0 to 5/0 and comes three to a pack. Each pack will retail for around $6.60 and
hit store shelves this coming Fall.
Simply tie on the hook and run the
tag end through the tube
