Bottom-up flares

The “BottomUp Flanjer” is a modern jerkbait that combines two seemingly contradictory characteristics: a sharp, dart-like action with a rolling motion and a subtle, quivering shiver when stationary. This combination is precisely what makes it so effective, as it reliably triggers strikes from even the most cautious and sluggish bass. The fast, sharp darts to the left and right significantly reduce forward movement, allowing the lure to remain in the strike zone for longer. This makes the flanger perfect for cold water conditions, but also for situations with an extremely narrow feeding window where fish react minimally. At the same time, the smooth rolling motion creates an intense interplay of color changes and flashes, while the subtle trembling when stationary provides an additional stimulus and often triggers the decisive bite at precisely this moment. Optimized action from the first Twitch stream Thanks to its integrated weight, the flanger delivers its optimal action from the very first jerk, while simultaneously offering excellent casting stability. This allows you to reach your target spots precisely and significantly increases the number of effective casts. Special attention was also paid to the sound design, as the lure produces a subtle “kotokoto” sound when jerked. This attracts the attention of perch from deeper areas or cover without scaring away wary or heavily fished fish. The flanger was specifically developed for high-pressure waters and combines all the features that a modern jerkbait must have today. Overview of construction details Body balance between casting distance and bite trigger The body size was specifically chosen to optimally combine casting ability and bite frequency. The natural silhouette, along with a slightly taller shape and flat sides, enhances the color change and flash effect. Additionally, finely crafted scales create a subtle, natural glint that even entices wary fish. Lip Fast diving and controlled darts The slightly longer lip allows the lure to quickly dive to the desired depth while simultaneously limiting forward movement. This creates a powerful, elegant dart action with noticeable water resistance and maximum control. Weight System Stability, Action and Sound A fixed weight, positioned low in the abdomen, ensures immediate action and creates the characteristic trembling during pauses. Additionally, a movable weight ball in the head area operates discreetly and produces a finely tuned sound. Hooks Secure hold during the fight The flanger is equipped with three sharp treble hooks in size #7, which reliably hook even lightning-fast attacks and at the same time enable a very high landing rate. Conclusion The flanger jerkbait is the perfect choice if you want consistent success in heavily fished waters and challenging conditions. Thanks to its controlled dart action, enticing roll, and subtle sound, it stays in the feeding window for a long time, delivering the desired action precisely when other lures fail.
