FAQs

What type of fish is this lure best for?

The Abu Garcia Svartzonker McMy Tail is highly effective for predatory fish such as pike and perch, but can also attract other game fish that feed on baitfish.

What retrieve methods work best?

It's versatile; a straight retrieve produces wide S-curves, while light taps of the reel handle or rod twitches create erratic darting actions. There is no single wrong way to fish it.

Is the lure lead-free?

Yes, the lure features an eco-friendly weighted design and is made with environmentally friendly plastisol material.

How durable is the hand-painted finish?

The hand-painted finish is designed for durability, but like all fishing lures, it may show signs of wear over time with consistent use and contact with fish and structure.

What is the purpose of the clear ABS body?

The clear ABS body with a realistic 3D effect enhances the lure's lifelike appearance and visibility in the water, making it more attractive to fish.

Can I use this lure in saltwater?

This lure is primarily designed for freshwater applications. While it might be used in some brackish environments, its components are optimized for freshwater predators.

What sizes and weights are available?

The McMy Tail comes in different sizes and weights, including 17cm/50g and 20cm/83g options, with various color patterns.

Troubleshooting

Lure spins or rolls unnaturally

Ensure the lure is rigged straight on the hook and that the line is not twisted. Try a different leader or connection method if line twist persists.

Poor casting distance

Verify you are using appropriate rod and line weight for the lure's size and weight. The 20cm/83g model may require a heavier setup for best results.

Hooks snagging excessively

Adjust your retrieve speed and rod action. Try to retrieve the lure slightly higher in the water column or over shallower structure.

  • Realistic 3D design and hand-painted finish enhance its appeal to predators.

  • Specific belly-rolling action might not suit all fishing conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The McMy Tail is ready to fish right out of the package. It can be attached to your fishing line using a reliable knot or a snap. Experiment with different retrieve speeds and rod actions to find what works best for the current conditions. Its weighted design aids in casting, but anglers may find it beneficial to use a medium-heavy to heavy action rod for optimal control and hook-setting power, especially with the larger 20cm/83g models.

Compatibility: This lure is designed to be compatible with a wide range of fishing gear. It can be used with baitcasting or spinning setups. Whether you prefer using a monofilament, fluorocarbon, or braided line, the McMy Tail will perform. It is also adaptable to using various leader materials, including wire leaders for toothy predators.

Care: After use, rinse the lure thoroughly with fresh water to remove any salt or debris. Store the lure in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its color and integrity. Ensure the hooks are clean and dry before storing to prevent rust. Check the hooks periodically for sharpness and replace them if necessary.
