I have tested... / Jackall Swing Mikey 115, a swim that makes it visible and noticeable!

The Swing Mikey 115 is a small hard swimbait with a lip that guides its swimming action. As a result, it cannot be jerked and must be worked with a reel.

It's a floater, so when you bring it in, its lip makes it dive down to about 30 cm below the surface. It doesn't dive so easily, however, so you need to place your rod pointing downwards and give it a good acceleration to make it dive.

At very slow speeds, it stays on the surface and swims with a very wobbly stroke, especially on its tail. If you pick up the pace, it dives below the surface and swims a little tighter, while retaining its wobbling side.

You can also intersperse the retrieve with quick stop-and-go pauses to force the lure to sink again. Indeed, the lure comes to the surface quite quickly, but in a way, as it swims at a shallow depth, this is not disturbing.

It comes with a fluorescent orange sticker, which can be stuck on the tail to improve visibility.

The finish is beautiful, as is often the case with Jackall hard swimbaits, with fin and scale details that are always appreciated.

When it comes to colors, it's clear that Illex and Jackall worked well together, as the proposed color chart is well-suited to French freshwater use, with fire tiger, gold, blue and ayu among the basic, approved colors.

The Swing Mikey 115 doesn't pull too hard on the rod and can be used with a fast action rod rated at 7-28 grams, although a regular or regular fast action rod rated at 10-40 grams is preferable for maximum comfort.

The first case is very practical when you want to be able to present a slightly larger lure, but only have a light fishing rod at hand.

The size 115 Swing Mikey is better suited to pike fishing than the 72 version.

If you opt for single hooks, size 1 is the right size.

This lure is also very interesting for black-bass fishing. It matches the size of a sun perch or rock bass, one of the main sources of food for black bass.

If I compare it to the 7.2-centimeter 72 version of the same lure, this 115 version of the Swing Mikey fares much better on a number of points. It casts better, dives more easily, it's the more accomplished of the two, but on the other hand, its dimensions and weight help it to perform better.

In any case, both versions of this Swing Mikey are a success, offering a lure with a pronounced swimming action, perfect for searching for pike or black-bass at the start of the season and during the summer.

Finally, I particularly recommend this lure to beginners, for its ease of use, the sight attacks it provides and its effectiveness.
