Fihstank Penalty Target (PT) 9cm 37g is an innovative lure that bridges the gap between a traditional crankbait and a modern lipless lure, offering anglers exceptional versatility and effectiveness in a wide range of fishing conditions.
The Penalty Target series consists of three different lure sizes, each available in 11 carefully selected colour variations, allowing anglers to match the hatch or adapt to different water clarity and light conditions. This particular model is a sinking version, making it ideal for controlled presentations at varying depths.
What truly sets the PT apart is its hybrid action. When retrieved steadily, it performs like a classic crankbait with a lip, generating strong, consistent vibrations that attract predatory fish from a distance. However, for anglers who prefer a more dynamic approach, the lure truly comes to life when worked with variable retrieves.
As a jerkbait, the Penalty Target excels. With both long and short rod pulls, it moves erratically and deviates unpredictably from its running path, mimicking an injured or fleeing baitfish. This irregular movement significantly increases its appeal to predatory species.
The working depth of the PT ranges from approximately 0.8 to 2.0 metres, depending on the lure size, line thickness, and retrieve speed. This makes it a highly adaptable option for both shallow and moderately deep fishing scenarios.
At 9cm in length and weighing 37g, this model is particularly well-suited for targeting larger predators while still maintaining excellent casting performance and control.
