The DOG-X JR COAYU is a small baitfish-sized walking bait equipped with Megabass’ patented moving balancer systems for unrivaled action. Featuring a SIDE-STEPPING MOVING BALANCER(PAT.) that throws its weight to the left and right to power dynamic, hard-cutting turns, COAYU demonstrates that smaller baits can deliver outsized action. The smooth-sliding action of the DOG-X Jr. COAYU cuts an enticing line across glassy waters, calling predators with mesmerizing cadence and detail. Speed up the retrieve and/or increase the power of each twitch, and COAYU bursts to life with frantic baitfish-like action and appeal. Finished with a tail-mounted lateral moving balancer, COAYU casts with distance and precision and gives off a compelling “click/knock” sound with each twitch.
Rod:
For a more traditional topwater rod pairing, we recommend the DESTROYER P5 F1-63X POPX STICK, which has a very moderate taper to impart the full range of COAYU’s action potential. Further, the slower action allows POPX STICK to bend deep to keep targets pinned throughout the fight.For a modern pistol-grip pairing, we recommend the GREAT HUNTING HUNTSMAN GHBF511-4L, which is perfect for quick draw roll-casts and close-quarters twitch work. With a more supple tip than the POPX STICK, the HUNTSMAN enables finer rod work and showcases the joy of the pistol-grip platform.
Line:
We recommend a braid to leader setup. Leader line diameter will affect lure action, particularly lures in which the angler is responsible for imparting action, like a walking bait or jerkbait. We have found 4-6lb leader material to be optimal for most situations.
Please note: smaller diameter braids paired with light line monofilament are more susceptible to line shear. Test your leader knots before making your first cast and increase line diameter (or switch to more durable fluorocarbon) if you experience shear.
Ontario smallmouth guru Nick Cousvis is picky about his bass tackle, and while he knows there are a wide range of premium rods with top-shelf components available, few of them fit his specialized needs. That’s why he’s integrated multiple models of the DESTROYER P5 lineup into his arsenal – they allow him to put more …
Fall brings an exciting shift in bass fishing. As temperatures cool, leaves change, and days shorten, a transition period emerges that often delivers some of the best fishing of the year. During this time, entire lakes come alive with a variety of patterns and techniques that can consistently produce. A common theme is that many …
Two-time Elite Series Angler of the Year Brandon Palaniuk has always had theories about jerkbait fishing and color selection, but now that he’s added forward facing sonar into his toolkit, he’s developed a formula for jerkbait color selection that works in any situation. “I’ve used forward facing sonar as a learning tool to confirm or …
Bass fishing during the heat of summer can be one of the most challenging yet rewarding times of the year. Due to high water temperatures and changing thermoclines, bass disperse throughout many water columns in most lakes, presenting widespread opportunity for anglers. In many impoundments, shallow and deep-water patterns coexist in late summer. Fishing bluegill …
Historically, summer fishing has been limited to tried-and-true traditional techniques to tempt bass from their deep, cool haunts, but the introduction of swimbaits like the SPARK SHAD opened doors to new bites. Harnessing the paddletail swimbait’s realistic action, profile and range control, anglers now had the ability to target any depth zone with subtle swimming …
Many bass anglers set lofty goals, but few of them set them as high or put as much concentrated effort into reaching them as Cobi Pellerito. “Most of my adult life has been tailored to chasing trophy smallmouth,” he said. With 41 of them over 7 pounds, and now five over 8 pounds, you could …
