Big Kev's Tips

How to work it

The Poltergeist 50XDD is a slow-trolling specialist designed to dive deep on light braided line-reaching beyond 8m despite its compact 50mm size.

Work it at speeds between 0.5-3 knots, keeping steady tension to maintain depth; the floating design helps it rise if you ease off throttle, making it ideal for working tight to structure and around snags. Its ultra-stable action tracks true at these slow speeds, making it effective for pressured fish that respond to subtle, natural presentations.

Pair it with light braided mainline to achieve maximum depth, and use it where smaller baitfish profiles suit the conditions.
