About this lure

A slow-sinking swimming pencil designed for big game presentations just below the surface.

At 145mm and 60g, the Contact Canary 145 combines casting power with a natural horizontal swimming action. It sinks slowly, allowing you to fish it with precision at varying depths. On a slow retrieve, it rolls and glides just under the surface, while a fast retrieve gives it a skipping baitfish effect—ideal when predators are chasing moving schools. Designed to run true even without a belly hook, it's well-suited to clean rigging in rougher conditions or with heavier gear.

  • Type: Slow-Sinking
  • Length: 145mm
  • Weight: 60g
  • Hook: STX-58 #1/0
  • Ring: H#7

A great choice when targeting kingfish, tuna, and other pelagic species feeding just beneath the surface.
