The Vatalion is a combination big vibration bait and glide bait. Slow retrieves will show off its rolling, snaking action. Pause the retrieve, and Vatalion harnesses its 1-3/8oz weight to power a sudden slide out to the left or right, triggering key follow-bites. Speed up the retrieve, and Vatalion’s action tightens up, behaving more like a traditional vibration bait–except with more roll and water displacement, and a secret weapon. Even at high speeds, pause your retrieve, and Vatalion will stop on a dime and kick out even harder/farther to the left or right.
