Prop Turtle
The Prop Turtle is a lure that resembles a small turtle. It's based on the principle of a frog, with a soft body that crushes to release the hook.
This hook is wide and well proportioned to the size of the turtle. It allows the shank to move away from the lure to release the tip.
It is easily detachable, for example when fishing in seagrass areas to avoid snagging debris.
This turtle has two propellers in the form of hind legs, which turn as soon as the lure is reeled in. When they turn, they emit a noise similar to propbaits and create a wave that won't let the lure go unnoticed on the surface.
The colors available are realistic with a multitude of details, making this turtle attractive to both fish and fishermen.
Use
The Prop Turtle is an original way to fish for pike and black-bass. The best animation is to bring the Prop Turtle back to a constant speed, with the rod raised, so that it emits a regular splash.
This lure is fairly all-purpose, and you can fish areas of grass, rushes or water lilies without the propellers picking up anything that drags along the surface.
Another application worth trying is to use it to track shadow for catfish, whose two propellers should not leave them indifferent. Finally, abroad, the snakehead is receptive to the lapping of the Prop Turtle.
My opinion
In terms of the concept itself, not to mention the lure's aesthetics, there's nothing particularly innovative, and the double-helix principle is already found on a few other lures.
On the other hand, the successful adaptation of this system to a turtle shape makes this lure rather original and very pleasant to use. Whether it's to captivate a child discovering lure fishing, or for an experienced angler who wants to use a lure that emits a continuous noise on the surface, I unreservedly recommend it.
