{"product_id":"bim-tackle-cruiser","title":"BIM Tackle VV Cruiser","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBIM Tackle VV Cruiser 18 cm – Curly Tail Pike Softbait\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most distinctive feature of the VV Cruiser is its hook-shaped curly tail. This wide tail design begins working with the slightest movement and creates strong water displacement and low-frequency vibrations during the retrieve. These vibrations are easily detected by pike through their lateral line, making the lure highly effective in coloured water, low-light conditions and when fishing around dense cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe broad body features flat sides and detailed natural colour patterns that create additional flash and a convincing baitfish profile in the water. Its substantial silhouette remains clearly visible during the retrieve and can help trigger cautious pike that closely inspect a lure before committing to the strike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VV Cruiser is designed to be rigged with a BIM Tackle Shallow Cruiser Head or a shallow rig. This setup allows the lure to be presented high in the water column while maintaining a wide and natural swimming action. It is especially effective over weed beds, along shallow margins, across shoals and around areas where pike hunt close to the surface. Shallow rigging also helps reduce snagging when fishing around vegetation and other cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBest used for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Targeting medium and large pike\u003cbr\u003e• Fishing over shallow weed beds and submerged vegetation\u003cbr\u003e• Working along reed lines, margins and shallow drop-offs\u003cbr\u003e• Covering large areas with a steady retrieve\u003cbr\u003e• Fishing coloured water and low-light conditions\u003cbr\u003e• Presenting a large softbait high in the water column\u003cbr\u003e• Slow to medium retrieves with a shallow rig\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Large curly tail softbait developed for pike fishing\u003cbr\u003e• Hook-shaped tail creates strong water displacement\u003cbr\u003e• Low-frequency vibrations are easily detected by predators\u003cbr\u003e• Broad profile presents a substantial prey silhouette\u003cbr\u003e• Flat sides and detailed colours add flash and realism\u003cbr\u003e• Starts working at very low retrieve speeds\u003cbr\u003e• Designed for shallow rigging and weed-bed fishing\u003cbr\u003e• Suitable for use with the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/bim-tackle-shallow-cruiser-rig\" title=\"BIM Tackle Shallow Cruiser Head\"\u003eBIM Tackle Shallow Cruiser Head\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Pieces per package: 1 piece\u003cbr\u003e• Length: 18 cm \/ 7.1\"\u003cbr\u003e• Weight: 52 g \/ 1.8 oz\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect to combine with: \u003ca href=\"\/products\/bim-tackle-shallow-cruiser-rig\" title=\"BIM Tackle Shallow Cruiser Head\"\u003eBIM Tackle Shallow Cruiser Head\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReady-to fish combo: \u003ca href=\"\/products\/bim-tackle-shallow-cruiser\" title=\"BIM Tackle Shallow Cruiser\"\u003eBIM Tackle Shallow Cruiser\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlso to combine with: \u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/vmc-pike-chain-rig\" title=\"VMC Pike Chain M\"\u003eVMC Pike Chain M\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/vmc-mustache-rig-shallow\" title=\"VMC Mustache Shallow\"\u003eVMC Mustache Shallow\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BIM Tackle","offers":[{"title":"Black Is Magic","offer_id":54296234033491,"sku":"BIM-VVCR18-BIM","price":10.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Castor Major","offer_id":54296234066259,"sku":"BIM-VVCR18-CM","price":10.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chart Rootbeer","offer_id":54296234099027,"sku":"BIM-VVCR18-CR","price":10.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green Chart","offer_id":54296234131795,"sku":"BIM-VVCR18-GC","price":10.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Orange Mecanic","offer_id":54296234164563,"sku":"BIM-VVCR18-OM","price":10.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Roach","offer_id":54296234197331,"sku":"BIM-VVCR18-RO","price":10.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Froggy","offer_id":54296234230099,"sku":"BIM-VVCR18-FY","price":10.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0617\/9261\/6625\/files\/BIM_Tackle_Cruiser_Black_Is_Magic.webp?v=1784197608","url":"https:\/\/charliesfishing.com\/products\/bim-tackle-cruiser","provider":"Charlie's Fishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
