About this lure

Diving pencils are a category that is often the basis of games as plugs for targeting large migratory fish, including rock shore. For that reason, the performance required of a diving pencil requires comprehensive specifications. The Rush Dive pursues a body shape that shows high reaction to input. Even with a short jerk, it grabs the water reliably, and even shows a fluttering action by turning the side of the body side. Furthermore, if there is some wavering, the head shape that firmly grabs the water expands the scope of the diving pencil's activities. High flight distance, reaction and few errors. It is a basic model for making the most of the few opportunities that come in a day.

Big Kev's Tips

How to work it

The Rush Dive is a floating diving pencil worked across the surface with rod-tip input. Use short, sharp jerks to make the head grab the water and dart, then let it float back up between strokes; the body flutters and turns on its side to trigger reactions. Vary the cadence between aggressive dives and pauses to find what the fish want on the day.

This is a stickbait built for distance, so pair it with a rod that loads well for long casts and matches the 40g, 68g or 87g body you choose. That reach lets you cover working water from boat or rock shore without spooking fish.

Target kingfish and tuna feeding on or near the surface. The head shape holds water even through swell and wave movement, keeping the action stable so you can capitalise on the few chances a day brings.
