Lindy Darter, Fish Dont Know Its Not BaitfishTradition says that Ice fishing lures must be small, lacking excitement and loaded with meat. After all, with water temperatures in the 30s, fish aren’t looking for anything large and loud. Or are they?
Last year Lindy decided to push the boundary, using a premium holographic finish never before dropped beneath the ice and adding loud rattles to call fish from long distances. They engineered the bait for an erratic darting action and a realistic swimming motion that takes the lure out beyond the boundaries of the hole and then allows it to turn and return. The result was the Lindy Darter, a hard-bait superstar from birth that lives up to the mantra, “Legendary Fishing Tackle.”
New for 2011, the Lindy Darter is available in a larger 2 ¾-inch size for the biggest, meanest critters under the ice. Also, six new colors (Yellow Perch, Natural Perch, Chartreuse Perch, Alewife, Purple Smelt, and Dace) allow anglers even more ability to fine tune their hard-water presentations.
The premium finish on every Darter is critical to the bait’s effectiveness. The Chartreuse Glow and Red Glow patterns are no-brainers for fishing in murky water or extra low light conditions, but the real story lies in the attention to detail with the holographic patterns. Each pattern reflects light in the precise colors of the respective forage it mimics and is fine tuned to bring out secondary hues for maximum realism.
The Lindy Darter looks so much like the real thing that no meat is needed. It provokes hard strikes from walleyes, perch, pike and other gamefish even when they are biting live-bait offerings very lightly.
The Lindy Darter now comes in four sizes and 17 fish-fooling colors.
