New ~JACKALL MIKEY SWIMBAITS/WAKEBAITS~ added to the storePosted Apr-14-07 11:43:33 PDT
The Mikey is not gigantic, but it's a fairly bulky 5-1/2 inch, three-piece jointed bait will dive down to 3 feet on a moderate speed with the rod tip down. It will also create a big wake on the surface water when fished with your rod tip held up. The best retrieve speed is slowly. It's sometimes best to intersperse sudden stops that cause the triple-jointed body to react nicely (and trigger strikes) in between slow reeling. Even deadsticking on the surface, especially when there's a little wind drift or ripple to bounce the three body parts around, can be effective due to the disjointed nature of the three-piece body.
It's tough to call the Mikey Jr a big bait - but it is bulky for its 3-3/4 inch size. It excels on a slow retrieve. It is at its best when slowly crawled across the surface. At times, experiment with slow steady pulls and pauses. Even deadsticking on the surface, especially when there's a little wind drift or ripple to bounce the three body parts around, can be effective due to the disjointed nature of the three-piece body.
