Castaic Baits

HOW TO FISH YOUR CATCH22:

Not only is the new Castaic Catch22 the most durable soft swimbait you can buy, it’s also the most versatile! You can crank it slowly and seductively. Or, you can burn it like a freaked out baitfish. Deadstick it. Twitch it with the enticement of a preyfish death dance.

Make a gentle, sweeping sidearm cast. Allow the bait to settle momentarily, or to sink to the desired depth. Begin a steady retrieve, then switch speeds until the lure achieves your preferred motion. Impart little rod tip jerks and twitches. Occasionally, experiment with prolonged pauses
for ultra-negative fish.

On a straight retrieve, the Catch-22 swims with the alluring motion of a carefree, yet slightly injured preyfish. Twitching and popping the bait makes it dart, turn, and glide. Deadsticked, the 22 hovers in place or slowly sinks, depending on the lure’s rate-of-fall (Floating or Slow Sinking). Burned and bulged, the 22 can elicit explosive surface strikes. Each of these retrieves, employed in the proper situation, will compel huge bass and other fish to eat the lure like it’s livebait.

And because it’s the only swimbait on the market that folds up and collapses inside the fish’s mouth, the 22 will hook more fish than any other swimbait on the market. Combine that with the No Throw sliding hook system, and you’ll not only hook fish, you’ll land them, too. For these reasons and more, the Catch22 is the biggest breakthrough in swimbaits in a long time.
