Evergreen Ant Lion 3.3

Designed by Toshifumi Kikumoto as a rubber jig trailer, the Ant Lion 3.3 is the larger 3.3in size of this soft plastic (8 per pack), sharing the rear-weighted, claw-first body shape that gives it surprising castability. Two differently shaped claws — a slim rabbit-ear pair at the head and a crescent pair on the body — create complex water flow while swimming and produce a time-lagged, collapsing action on the pause, while four tentacles and two whiskers add fine, independent micro-vibration.

It works just as well rigged solo on a drop-shot, Carolina, split-shot or light Texas rig as it does threaded onto a jig as a trailer, and is built to draw bites from largemouth and smallmouth bass keyed on shrimp, goby or even smelt across clear water, muddy shallows and current.
