Its well-balanced softness and the Flex Connection in the middle of the body give it an erratic swimming action, combining the flashes of its flat flanks with the whip-like strokes of a very mobile tail. Predators that ignore the steady thump of a shad often cannot resist this dynamic and unpredictable movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it has no paddle, the Magic Swing Tail offers minimal water resistance and still gives off subtle vibrations, even at very low speed. Its hydrodynamic shape makes vertical presentation easy, both with live sonar and in snag-heavy spots. Fish it with strong jerks or twitches on a pointed jighead or a 14 to 70 g shad head, or rig it weightless for fishing around weed and cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBest used for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Vertical fishing for zander and pike\u003cbr\u003e• Sea bass and pollack where large sandeel are around\u003cbr\u003e• Fishing from the hand or at an angle behind the boat in current\u003cbr\u003e• Weightless fishing for sea bass, pike and black bass around weed, kelp and sunken trees\u003cbr\u003e• Oyster beds, mussel banks and other snag-heavy spots\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Flex Connection in the middle of the body for an erratic, unpredictable action\u003cbr\u003e• Flat flanks that flash, combined with a whip-like, very mobile tail\u003cbr\u003e• No paddle, so minimal water resistance and subtle vibrations even at very low speed\u003cbr\u003e• Hydrodynamic shape for easy vertical presentation\u003cbr\u003e• Impregnated with Nitro Booster squid attractant\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Brand: Illex\u003cbr\u003e• Type: Slim softbait\u003cbr\u003e• Series: Magic\u003cbr\u003e• Model: Floating\u003cbr\u003e• Action: Wobbling, darting, twitching, vertical\u003cbr\u003e• Length: 22 cm\u003cbr\u003e• Weight: 35 g\u003cbr\u003e• Quantity per pack: 2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/illex\" title=\"Illex\"\u003eSee full Illex collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect to combine with:\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/jigheads\" title=\"Jigheads\"\u003eJigheads\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Illex","offers":[{"title":"Magic Pearl Bone","offer_id":55852442059091,"sku":"18561","price":11.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0617\/9261\/6625\/files\/Illex_Magic_Swing_Tail_8.5_Magic_Pearl_Bone.webp?v=1794477196","url":"https:\/\/charliesfishing.com\/products\/illex-magic-swing-tail-8-5","provider":"Charlie's Fishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
