Strategic Angler - Mikros (Sinking)

MIKROS

The “smallest” BIG lure in the lineup.  Available in floating and sinking configurations, the Mikros series lures zig-zag, swim and wobble unlike any custom lure on the market today.  The perfect size for both fresh and saltwater fishing, the Mikros series opens the possibilities for the ultimate fishing experience.

Orientation: Horizontal suspending/sinking (hook dependent)

Action:

• Alternating side to side swimming action with retrieve
• subsurface walk

Retrieve speed: Medium to fast; trollable

Skill level: None to moderate

TECHNIQUE:

The Mikros-S sinks for a more subtle but “in your face” presentation. This lure can be walked by twitching the rod tip imparting a side to side zig zag action, keeping the lure in the feeding zone where it is most effective.  The occasional long jerk will make the lure kick wildly, making the lure swim like a fleeing baitfish.

The Mikros lure can be retrieved with various speeds depending on the hook setup.  Lighter hooks allow for a slower retrieve while larger, heavier hooks allow for a more spirited retrieve.  For heavy tackle and big game fishing, an extra large treble or single hook located on the belly is all you need.  This configuration will still allow the lure to swim at its best.

For trolling purposes up to 4 knots, use the largest possible hook on the belly with the Mikros-S (sinking)
