Fox Rage Hitcher Crank & Troll DR 10cm from £11.50

As with all three models in the Pro Series, the ‘Hitcher’ was built as true to life as possible. Most Japanese crankbaits are very detailed copies of marine or non-native prey fishes the Hitcher, however, realistically imitates native fish in colour, shape and swimming motion.

The perch is known to be one of the preferred prey species of pike and was the model for this crankbait series and gives the lure the typically humpback, slightly compact shape.

The Hitcher is available in three different types and sizes. The ‘Crank & Troll’ version is especially suited for trolling or straight reeling in. Under a constant tension this version staggers to the sides and the steel balls in its belly create highly attractive reverberating vibrations. The motion and the natural shape of the Hitcher Crank & Troll are reliable fish catchers in all waters and the red hook at the base of the baits acts as a brilliant focal point for attack.

Fitted with Japanese split rings and two needle-sharp Powerpoint treble hooks with slightly inturned points.
