• Why are the Prism/Holo patterns only available on certain models?
  They are only offered on our flat-sided models which are the 12" Reef Digger, 7 and 9" Reef Digger shallow, Avitar, 8" Twitch Darter Deep Diver and Sand Cats. Other models have 3 dimensional body shapes which makes it difficult to apply without causing wrinkles in the film.
  
  
• Can more weight be added to the Sand Cats?
  The Sand Cat is a unique, hybrid dive/rise lure designed for shallow water structure fishing. Strategically placed weights are added that allow the bait to dive with a crankbait wobble and rise with a distinctive body roll motion. Adding more weight will affect this action. Weight kits are available that can be applied to the belly to control this action.  Initially tape the weight or weights to the underside, test, then apply the insert for the weights to be screwed into for the desired dive/rise rate.
