How to work it
Cast the Hamma 123 and retrieve at a steady pace, varying speed from slow to moderate to trigger strikes across the sub-surface zone. The lure's controlled rise action keeps it in the strike zone longer - let it pause briefly on the drop to exploit this suspending behaviour.
The 28g weight and clear-bodied design make it ideal for casting into structure and open water alike.
Work it on standard or DD bibs depending on whether you want to stay shallow (1m) or probe slightly deeper (3m) without swapping lures.
