Description

The original Live-X which was introduced many years ago is no longer available, but the basic concept lives on within every member of the Live-X series - with the most complex Multi-Way Moving Balancer System, the Live-X series created a new bait category: the diving jerk-minnow. The Smolt is the most compact expression of that philosophy - a 48mm body determined from the profile and size of Japanese fingering baits, engineered to suspend and flutter at 1.2 metres with an action that defies its size. A vertical centre of gravity shift mechanism raises the centre of gravity with the impact of a twitch or slight pump, allowing anyone to easily create a fluttering action - and the lure boasts an excellent stable action from ultra slow to fast speed, regardless of whether it is used in lakes or mountain streams. 

The GP Pro Blue colourway - Respect Colour #54 - applies the Guanium Phantom finish to a pro blue baitfish pattern: a deep, saturated blue back fading into a ghost-like translucent belly, the GP layer diffusing light through the body rather than reflecting it, producing the kind of underwater presence that reads as a natural baitfish silhouette in clear water at depth rather than a lure. Pro Blue is universally recognised among lure anglers as one of the most productive clear-water colours across all species, and in the GP finish it is elevated into one of the most refined expressions of that pattern in the Megabass catalogue.
