Tackle House - Contact Canary 145
Specifications
About this lure
A slow-sinking swimming pencil designed for big game presentations just below the surface.
At 145mm and 60g, the Contact Canary 145 combines casting power with a natural horizontal swimming action. It sinks slowly, allowing you to fish it with precision at varying depths. On a slow retrieve, it rolls and glides just under the surface, while a fast retrieve gives it a skipping baitfish effect—ideal when predators are chasing moving schools. Designed to run true even without a belly hook, it's well-suited to clean rigging in rougher conditions or with heavier gear.
