Big Kev's Tips
How to work it
Cast the C-Gar 120 to working kingfish and kahawai, letting it settle just below the surface before beginning your retrieve.
Work it on a slow, controlled cadence-1 to 3 knots-with gentle rod twitches to create subtle surface disturbance without excessive splash. This restrained action is especially effective when targeting cautious fish in clear water or low-light conditions.
Vary your retrieve speed and pause occasionally to trigger strikes from fish tracking the lure's sub-surface path.
The lure's 40g weight and streamlined profile deliver excellent casting distance, making it ideal for covering ground when searching for pelagic feeders.
Pair it with solid saltwater tackle rated for kingfish and kahawai runs.
