Double Deceiver

$12.95

Available Sizes6-10 inches
Color Variations
Chartreuse/WhiteAll WhiteOlive/WhiteRed/White

If a Lefty's Deceiver is a well-tailored suit, the Double Deceiver is a tuxedo with a concealed weapon. Two hooks, double the length, and enough flash to start a small disco. It was built for fish that have teeth capable of severing monofilament and dreams simultaneously. The tandem hook setup means that when a pike inhales this thing headfirst, it is staying buttoned. No negotiations.
