A wide range of lead heads
Until now, the Crazy Eel and Crazy Paddletail have been available with lead heads ranging from 35 to 55g. Without this being totally unacceptable for fishing in less than 10 metres of water, we were obliged to fish fast. Today, a 20 g lead head is the perfect addition to the range, opening up new horizons for the use of CE and CPT (for those in the know)!
An unmistakable color
Unlike the other lead heads in the Crazy range, the 20 g head is available in a single color, which is new to Fiiish. This is the Raw color, which logically comes in a metallic hue. Fiiish's 2024 novelties have this in common and are thus recognizable.
A soaring effect
The advantage of using a light lead head on a big lure is, of course, its ability to explore shallow areas, but above all, its ability to make slow, gliding descents. Whether you're pulling, flying or line fishing, the pause phases are crucial moments in the animation during which a large number of bites occur.
Lightening the lead head allows you to fish more slowly, lengthening the descent phase and giving your lure a particularly natural gliding effect.
For shallow fishing
As you can already imagine, I've taken advantage of this new feature to offer the Crazy Eel 180 in shallower areas than usual. In fact, since the start of the season, I've been prospecting positions between 5 and 15 m deep with the aim of offering a big bite in little water or fishing particularly slowly in shallower areas.
Let's be clear, the results were not long in coming, and this lead head has made a place for itself in my box for the whole season!
Versatility
With this new weight, I set up the usual animations for the Crazy 180, i.e. large, lively pulls in open water and linear diagonal retrieves aimed at getting the bars very high in the water column.
But thanks to this head, I've been able to use a new presentation that I'd previously reserved for other lures. In fact, the Crazy 180 with the 20 g head proved to be particularly effective when drifting along the bottom in large current veins. When the fish weren't inclined to go for the lures, I took advantage of the new weight to "force" the natural.
The typical situation is to cast your lure into a marked current vein about ten metres deep. Once you've made contact with the bottom, simply lift the lure slightly off the bottom and let it hover a few centimetres above the bottom. The bites are usually quite pronounced and the lures perfectly engrossed!
