Description

The Pozidrive Garage Hoppin'john 40S T1 (Hoppin'john 40S T1) is a 40mm, 2.5g sinking lipless minnow built to draw strikes from mountain-stream fish. Though it looks at a glance like a vibration-style lipless crank, it fishes like an ordinary minnow with a standard rod-position retrieve or a fine flash-turn roll, while also allowing a dart action via jerking, so the retrieve can be adapted to the moment. It comes fitted with a #12x2 treble hook set on a #00 split ring.

This listing stocks all 12 of the model's colourways, including yamame-patterned finishes along with a salmon-parr (sake chigyo) and a caddis-larva (budo mushi) pattern.

Information

The swimming action

A 40mm lipless sinking minnow that looks like a vibration-style lipless crank at a glance but fishes like an ordinary minnow, giving a standard rod-position retrieve or a fine flash-turn roll, plus a dart action when jerked.

When to throw it

Built to draw strikes from mountain-stream fish such as yamame and char, useful across a range of stream types and light levels where a small, adaptable sinking minnow suits the water.

How to work it

Fish it on a standard retrieve for a flash-turn roll, or work the rod tip with jerks to bring out a darting action; the retrieve can be adapted to whichever response the fish are giving on the day.

The setup it likes

Suits a 5'0"-6'0" UL native-trout stream rod, a 1000-2000 reel, 2-3 lb line and a light fluorocarbon leader.
