A shallow runner specialised in triggering bites, developed specifically with a focus on catching seabass and black fin seabass when fishing from rocky shores.
A slow floating shallow runner that captivates with a tight roll action just below the water's surface, mimicking baitfish in the feeding zone. Its swimming posture, which closely mimics that of suspended bait, and its buoyancy closely resembles drifting sardines (Japanese anchovy), effectively replicating natural bait.
The Maria Chovy's weight distribution has been carefully designed to help it blend easily into turbulent water while maintaining a nearly horizontal swimming posture to entice strikes.
Slow Floating
In saltwater, it takes roughly 5-10 seconds to rise 50cm, making it an ultra-dead-slow float. The lure is designed to minimise floating or sinking, allowing it to maintain its depth just below the surface, even in rough conditions. In brackish waters (estuaries) or freshwater, the specific gravity changes, so it may shift from slow floating to slow sinking, requiring careful attention.
Hook Adjustment
By changing the stock hook to a lighter one, the lure becomes lighter, allowing you to switch between Slow Floating and Floating. Adjusting the diving range is helpful in shallow fishing areas (such as surf or tidal flats) and for wading waters. By increasing the hook size up one step, you can shift the lure from Slow Floating to Slow Sinking, effective for targeting larger fish.
