Tackle House - Contact Britt 170
About this lure
A large floating stickbait with lifelike movement and erratic action designed to trigger strikes from big surface feeders.
At 170mm and 60.5g (76g with hooks), the Britt 170 is ideal when targeting kingfish, tuna, or GTs chasing larger bait near the surface. Its slim, baitfish-like profile pairs with an R-Unit 2.0 system that gives the lure subtle, lifelike sway even at rest. During the retrieve, internal weight movement responds to rod input and water pressure, creating unpredictable side-to-side darting that mimics fleeing prey.

Big Kev's Tips
How to work it
Cast the Britt 170 to surface-feeding kingfish and tuna, working it with sharp rod twitches and pauses to trigger strikes.
The 170mm profile and 60.5g weight (76g rigged) cast far and sit naturally at rest, allowing the R-Unit 2.0 system to impart subtle sway that draws attention. Vary your retrieve: short, sharp jerks create the erratic darting action that mimics distressed baitfish, then pause to let internal weight shift build tension before the next strike.
Work it over shallow structure and current lines where large predators hunt; the floating design keeps you in the strike zone and gives you control to drop the lure into feeding windows.
