With this shad there is action with no action! It has no paddle tail, so the shad sinks rapidly into the depth, which is very advantageous for drift and current. Once at the appropriate catching depth, it moves elegantly and snakes through the water like a sand eel. These are known to be the favourite prey of many sea predators. Slight twitching, slow cranking - called "lining up" - and also wind and waves are enough to make the extremely soft material irresistible - and that's what the fish are attracted to.
Halibut is the core competence of the Draufganger, big pollacks, cod and coalfish it catches just as successfully in his side job - you can bet on it. In the tests in Norway, we mainly caught the big halibuts for the Draufganger. UV blue is ideal for deep water, Japanese red is great for cod, halibut is on pearl white, coalfish on black bait and big pollacks on motor oil.
The Draufganger is 100% Made in Germany, extremely durable, it lasts much longer than normal rubber baits from the Far East and is environmentally friendly, the softener is free of toxic substances. The durability is almost like a hardbait. With a rubber fish dozens of Pollacks were caught in tests without the fish getting a scratch. This Draufganger fits perfectly on the original twitcher heads. Here are 10 different colour combinations of twitcher head and tail available. There are three different sizes with heads of 100g, 125g and 160g.
