Specifications
About this lure
The Hero 180F is a heavy-duty long-casting floating minnow designed to reach distant predators and trigger aggressive strikes. Its streamlined body and internal weight-transfer system deliver excellent casting distance, while the pronounced rolling action and deep rattle create strong attraction on the retrieve.
