FAQs

What type of fish is the McMy Tail lure best for?

The McMy Tail is designed to attract a variety of predatory fish, including pike, zander, and large perch, by mimicking natural baitfish.

How should I retrieve the McMy Tail lure?

You can use a variety of retrieves, including light taps of the reel handle for a jerky action, a steady retrieve for wide S-curves, or a combination of both. There is no single wrong way to fish it.

Is this lure environmentally friendly?

Yes, the McMy Tail is constructed with an environmentally friendly, lead-free weighted body made from plastisol.

What are the hooks like on this lure?

The lure is equipped with super-sharp Berkley Fusion19 treble hooks, designed for strong hook sets and improved fish retention.

Can I use this lure in saltwater?

While designed with freshwater predatory fish in mind, the durable construction and sharp hooks could potentially be used in calmer saltwater conditions, but rinsing thoroughly afterward is crucial.

Does the color pattern matter?

Color can significantly impact fishing success. The hand-painted finishes are designed to be realistic, but it's advisable to experiment with different colors based on water clarity and light conditions.

What is the purpose of the realistic 3D effect?

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

Troubleshooting

Lure not gliding smoothly

Ensure the lure is rigged straight and the hooks are not entangled. Check if there are any obstructions on the lure or hooks. Try a different retrieval speed or technique.

Fish are not striking

Experiment with different retrieval speeds, pauses, and twitches. Consider the water conditions and time of day. Try a different color pattern or lure size. Ensure your leader is not too visible.

Hooks are not setting properly

Verify that the Berkley Fusion19 treble hooks are sharp. Sharpen or replace them if they appear dull. Ensure you are using an appropriate hook set technique for your target species.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The McMy Tail lure can be rigged using a standard fishing rod and reel setup. It is designed to be used with either a soft or stiff leader. Ensure your line is strong enough to handle the target species. Attach the lure to your leader using a reliable fishing knot or a snap swivel.

Compatibility: This lure is compatible with a wide range of fishing gear. It is effective in various water conditions, from clear to slightly murky, and can be used to target species such as pike, zander, and large perch.

Care: After each use, rinse the lure with fresh water to remove any salt or debris. Store the lure in a cool, dry place, preferably in a lure box, to protect the finish and hooks. Avoid storing it with sharp objects that could scratch the paint or damage the hooks. Periodically check the sharpness of the Berkley Fusion19 treble hooks and sharpen or replace them as needed.
