Information

The swimming action

The Honey Trap is a sinking pencil built around a lively S-shaped slalom action on a steady retrieve, with a dead, unsettled sway that stands out from a typical straight-swimming minnow.

When to throw it

Suited to harbours, tidal flats, river mouths and rivers when seabass are keyed onto small baitfish, and a useful early-season or warm-water option for calmer, shallower water. The lighter Karutora versions fish the shallowest end of that range.

How to work it

Work it on a steady, moderate retrieve to keep the slalom action ticking over, easing the pace to fish it shallower and picking up speed to add urgency to the sway.

The setup it likes

A 7–8ft ML spinning rod, 2500–3000 reel, PE 0.6–1.0 line and a 10–16lb fluorocarbon leader cover this size range, sizing up slightly for the 95S.
