It is a completely different presentation from the usual spoons or minnows, which makes it especially useful where fish have already seen many lures, for example in paid trout ponds.<\/p>\n<p>When you feel an unusual resistance, do not strike hard: turn the reel handle a little faster, and the hook will set securely in the fish's lip.<\/p>\n<p>Key features (manufacturer data):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Weight 1.2 g<\/li>\n<li>Leather strip with rubber legs<\/li>\n<li>6 colours: LL-11BL White, LL-12BL Red, LL-13BL Pink, LL-14BL Black, LL-15BL Green, LL-16BL Brown<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What it is for and what tackle to use<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fish:<\/strong> trout (especially in paid ponds), perch, chub.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Where to fish:<\/strong> ponds, calm stretches of rivers and backwaters.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rod:<\/strong> an ultralight spinning rod rated for about 0.5\u20135 g.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Line:<\/strong> 0.05\u20130.08 mm braided line with a 0.12\u20130.16 mm fluorocarbon leader, or 0.12\u20130.16 mm monofilament.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Retrieve:<\/strong> a very slow, steady retrieve; also let the lure sink and lift it slowly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The rod and line recommendations are a guide: they help you choose, but you can also fish with similar tackle you already own.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VANFOOK Leather Leech 1.2 g: a Japanese jig with a leather strip and rubber legs for trout and other wary predators.
