How to work it
The Chieftain 190F is a versatile topwater stickbait that shines in aggressive surface fishing.
Cast it out and work it with sweeping rod movements to produce a wide, enticing "S" swimming action-ideal for drawing strikes from powerful fish.
For more explosive results, twitch and burn the lure with sharp, rapid jerks to create erratic slashes, or stab and pop it to generate violent surface disturbance.
The rear-weighted design ensures excellent casting distance and stable flight, while the cupped mouth throws water on each movement, adding extra attraction and chaos that triggers aggressive reactions.
