DAIWA PRESSO STEPDART 40S

Turn on neutral fish with a compact dart that seems to take steps - Keiji Miura, PRESSO staff

In recent years, many dart lures have been released by various companies, and the performance I was looking for in this step dart was sinking speed, dart performance, and bottom stability that would not be abandoned by fish. For example, in situations where there is strong artificial pressure, such as in tournaments, bites are often limited to the "offshore surface" or "front bottom" where there is relatively little pressure. The surface layer off the coast is where spoons can fly far, but on the other hand, the fish are closer to the angler, so a reaction element is strongly required. In this situation, you will be using a dart type lure, but no matter how good the dart performance is, if the fall speed is slow, the fish will give up on it.On the other hand, if the fall speed is fast, the buoyancy will be lost and the dart lure will be abandoned. Performance and bottom stability performance deteriorate. The emphasis was on striking a balance between these conflicting elements.

Dirt width is also an important point. In general, the wider the dart, the stronger the ability to attract fish, but especially rainbow trout, which cannot keep up with the lure and often miss bites. As its name suggests, Step Dart is good at ``regular, small step darts,'' and has the ability to forcibly increase the activity of neutral fish while realizing an action that reduces missed bites. It is a final weapon that demonstrates its power when you really want to squeeze out fish.
