SMITH Catapy Clicker II #CB03 Tare Black

Introducing the Catapy Clicker II: Enhanced Appeal for 2024

The Catapy Clicker, known for its high appeal, has evolved into the Catapy Clicker II starting in 2024, featuring a new head-mounted light element for increased visibility.

This upgraded model integrates a brass rattle and a metal lip (cup) with a plated finish for added flashing effects. The combination of rattle sound and flashing makes the Catapy Clicker II exceptionally attractive to fish. Anglers can now choose between the rattling Catapy Clicker II and the silent Catapy II to diversify their fishing strategies.

The body material of the Catapy Clicker II uses bone material across all color options, enhancing the resonance of the clicker sound. This design improvement ensures that the lure produces a more pronounced and appealing sound underwater, further increasing its effectiveness.

Situations Where Clicker-Type Lures Are Effective:

1. High Activity Periods: When fish show a high response to rattle sounds. Use a lure rotation that includes both rattle and non-rattle options to gauge the situation.
2. Daytime Fishing: Clicker-type lures can be particularly effective in daylight when visual and auditory stimuli are crucial.
3. Windy Conditions: When the water surface is choppy, the added noise and flash from the clicker can help attract fish.
4. Inflow Areas: Places where water is flowing into a larger body of water.
5. High Water Levels: During or after rain when the water level is higher than usual.
6. Moderately Deep Waters: Clicker lures can reach and attract fish in these areas more effectively.
7. Exploring New Spots: In new fishing locations where fish are less accustomed to lures, the clicker type can often yield quicker results.

High Appeal Specifications:

1. Brass Rattle Inclusion: Equipped with an internal brass rattle, producing a distinct high-tone rattle sound that effectively attracts fish.
2. Bone Material Body: The bone material body enhances the clarity and resonance of the rattle sound, increasing its appeal.
3. Metal Lip with Plating: The metal lip (cup) is plated, boosting the flashing effect to catch the fish's attention more effectively.

Double Hook Design Ideal for Catfish Fishing:

• Snagless Consideration: The lure is equipped with double hooks, designed to minimize snagging.
• Barbless Recommendation: It is recommended to crush the barbs when using this lure for catfish fishing. The model is designed to make barbs very easy to crush.

Enhanced Visibility for Night Fishing:

• Increased Visibility: By inserting a commercially available luminous stick (Φ2.9 Chemiluminescent), the visibility during nighttime fishing is significantly improved. The lure has slots for the luminous stick on both the eye and head (though it cannot be equipped in both simultaneously).
• Strategic Light Placement: The room for the luminous stick is positioned to ensure good visibility for the angler while the metallic lip (cup) blocks light from escaping downward, making the luminous stick less noticeable to the target fish, such as catfish. This setup ensures maximum visibility for the angler and allows them to easily observe and adjust the lure's action.
• Easy Attachment to the Eye Hole: The luminous stick can be easily attached by threading it through the eye hole. The metallic cup blocks the light from escaping downward, preventing the fish from detecting the luminous stick. The minimal protrusion of the Chemiluminescent stick also reduces the likelihood of getting snagged when fishing around obstacles.
• Recommended Chemiluminescent Stick: For attachment to the eye hole, a straight-shaped luminous stick of Φ2.9×23mm is recommended. Please note that some products labeled as Φ2.9 may be slightly thicker depending on the manufacturer.
