Strategic Angler Naia 180

Strategic Angler Naia

The StrategicAngler® Naia transcends the traditional design of a stickbait and a fast sinking jig.  The omission of the belly loop creates a rhythmic side to side cadence as she free falls, while the tail hook configuration can be customized to suit your fishing style.  Naia works well with single hooks or trebles of various sizes.  Twitches, “walk the dogs”, sweeps and a sinking flutter all successfully embody her fluid style.  Rhythmic slow twitches will make Naia move with an alternating left and right cadence (walk).   A quick sweep will create a sudden commotion that reverberates in the water attracting predators in the process.  Retrieving the lure with the rod tip down will create a slow side to side wobble.  This slow and erratic movement is reminiscent of a cruising or unwary fish.  An occasional twitch will make Naia come alive, flash on one side and then right itself.   After casting and during its descent, Naia will have a very pronounced side to side flutter, so give it a several seconds to reach your preferred depth before retrieving.  The Naia’s body has touch of UV* in the clear body which illuminates her in the water, completing her scintillating form (*does not glow in the dark).  Naia sinks at about 1-2 ft/sec, current and hook size will affect sink rates.
