VOLCANO II has not been made for looks; it seeks the best possible performance from a balanced traditional style. The off balance double holes in the blade give it an irregular unique vibration along with a captivating metallic sound, while maintaining the original versions effectiveness. The wire balance has also been changed to a short arm style, which means the blade and hook are both taken up by the bass to improve hooking rates and reduce blade bites. The hook angle has also been carefully designed to allow for full transfer of power to hook point for strong hooking. Not only does this improve hooking it also decreases snags, for a super tournament model. Of course it can also be used on dead slow retrieves. BITE SIZE can be used in situations such as clear major lakes or on dead calm days where the original would be too strong to make buzz bait game possible. Retrieving this lure so that the blades just come out of the water is tantamount when using baits of this size. More than a simple downsize, it has been rebalanced for optimum action typical of NORIES lures. VOLCANO II is the bait to save the day when everything else has given up the game.
