Big Kev's Tips
How to work it
Cast the Bitstream Jointed (S) upstream or across current and retrieve with a steady, medium-paced twitch. The jointed body will produce a natural wobble on the pause and retrieve, mimicking a wounded baitfish.
At 8g, it sinks to around 70cm, making it ideal for working pools, runs, and deeper pockets where large trout hold in clear or pressured water.
Work it through likely lies with short rod twitches interspersed with pauses to trigger strikes from cautious fish.
