No. 10 Bronze Whaler

Tasmanian Devil's have been one of NZ's most popular trout trolling and spinning lures since they were introduced in 1980. These lures have a great action in the water, simulating wounded wish.  When trolling at the correct speed, these lures will cause your rod tip to nod gently.  If your rod tip stops nodding, then you have probably caught some weed. 

Lure Sizes:

• Little Devil 7g, 4cm long
• Original Devil 13.5g, 7cm long
• Big Devil 26g, 9cm long
