The Northbar tackle Bottledarter is a highly versatile lure that can be used in various ways. On calm nights, it can be swam on the surface like a metal lip lure. A slow retrieve creates a nice wiggling motion and produces a wake on the surface, which is attractive to fish. In areas with minimal current, a slow and steady retrieve works effectively. Adding some twitches of the rod tip can make the lure dart and increase its effectiveness. The Bottledarter lure performs exceptionally well in current rips. Simply cast it out and maintain contact with the lure as it sweeps through the water. Occasionally, perform a full crank on the reel while lifting your rod tip to experience the lure's swimming action. Reeling down slowly while keeping tension on the line will further enhance its performance. It is worth noting that the loaded Bottledarter, which contains 10cc's of liquid, casts very well and exhibits slightly different action compared to the unloaded version. It has already proven to be successful in catching some impressive fish during Northbar's testing.
