Big Swimbait Requiring Heavy Tackle. The deps Highsider Jr. is bigger than your average bass bait. It weighs 1-1/2 ounces (45 grams) and the hard body is 6 inches (150 mm) long (not counting the feathered tail). It requires fairly heavy tackle to cast and fish properly.
The deps Highsider Jr. swims with an action that traces the letter S through the water on a steady retrieve.
The Highside Jr. creates a similar side-to-side sliding effect as a jerkbait. Constant, skillful rod action is required to make a jerkbait to dart and flash left, then right throughout the retrieve, zigzagging back and forth. In comparison, the constant natural "S" action of the Highsider is accomplished with a simple, steady retrieve.
When paused and allowed to float on the surface, the Highsider Jr. will roll over and lay on it's side, The jointed body will arc over and downward in a semi-circle with the tail hanging downward like a dying fish. Any water movement will cause the jointed body to sway and flex feebly like a dying fish, and the feathered tail will flicker enticingly, often getting hit when deadsticked on the surface like this.
Storage Box. Save the durable plastic box the lure comes in, which has a bait-fitting plastic tray inside. Use it store the lure (after letting it dry), for less wear and tear and to protect the fine finish of this quality bait.
