All north bar lures use the best terminal tackle available, krok swivels, vmc hooks and wolverine split rings 7.25" 2.5oz rigged with VMC 9626 3/0 4x Strong hooks.

Some anglers fishing heavy action surfcasting rods when targeting large game fish prefer to fish the Northbar Bottle Darter "loaded". While adding 10cc of liquid adds about 1/2oz of weight to the lure and aid in casting it slightly alters the swimming action. looking for more weight

How to fish the Bottledarter:
The lure is extremely versatile and can be fished a variety of different ways.
1. On those flat calm nights, the lure can be swam on the surface much like a metal lip. A painfully slow retrieve makes a nice wiggle and produces a surface
wake that is sure to entice some nice fish.
2. On open beach without much current, a slow steady retrieve works very well. Mix in a few twitches of the rod tip to really make the lure dart.
3. The lure loves current rips. Cast this lure out and just take up the slack to remain in contact with the lure as it sweeps. Ever once and a while take a full crank
on the reel while lifting your rod tip (you will feel the lure really swim). Reel down slowly while keeping tension on the line. Repeat this retrieve and hold on!
4. Loaded with 10cc's of liquid. Our testing shows that a loaded Bottledarter casts very well. The action is slightly different than unloaded. The lure has more darting action and has already taken some very nice fish!
