How to fish the FCL Labo - CSP S180F
Big Kev's Tips
How to work it
Fish the CSP S180F on the surface as a floating stickbait, working it with rod sweeps to bring out its side-to-side roll.
The chiseled face lets it dig in and track straight, so vary your cadence between long sweeps, sharp twitches and fast rips to trigger strikes. Even a steady retrieve produces a natural wobble across the top.
At 75g and 180mm, it carries well on the cast, letting you cover ground and reach working fish or structure from distance.
Pair it with a stickbait-rated topwater rod and heavier braid to handle hard hits and drive the single or treble home.
Target pelagic and reef predators feeding up top - kingfish, GTs, tuna, mackerel and reef species.
Adjust retrieve speed to match how the fish are reacting, slowing the sweeps in calmer water and ripping faster when they want a fleeing baitfish.
