Knuckle Bait | A Closer Look
10/8/2018
Yo-Zuri 3DB Series Knuckle Bait
The Design
The Knuckle Bait is something unlike anything else on the market.
It looks like a spinnerbait complete with a skirt and wire arm, but instead of a blade or series of blades, it has a ball.
The idea is to give a wobbling action like a knuckleball in baseball.
Colors and Sizes
The Knuckle Bait comes in some great looking colors and three different sizes; ¼ oz. 3/8 oz. and 5/8 oz., which are all standard spinnerbait sizes.
The solid color, painted balls have rattles within. The clear, prism finishes offer more flash and no sound.
Fishing the Knuckle Bait
The size, shape, and profile are much like a spinnerbait so any rod, reel, and line that works for a spinnerbait will do here.
It is also fished much like a spinnerbait, so no additional knowledge is needed to get started.
Additional Design Features
Yo-Zuri states that the balls on the bait are more aerodynamic than a spinnerbait blade and this is true.
Casting the bait is easy, and distance is no issue.
Where to Fish It
Again, with it being so similar to a spinnerbait, all of the likely areas will work. It can be fished along weedlines, submerged brush and in open water.
The bait can be burned fast or slow rolled and just about anywhere.
