The Mirage JT 161 Trefle Creation is a 2-joint swimbait! Exceptionally well finished, it features super imitative colors and a true-to-life scale livery. The head even has a metal coating for an even more realistic look. The Mirage JT 161 develops a very natural S-shaped action on a simple linear retrieve on the reel. The horizontal front attachment amplifies this swimming action. When jerked, it swerves sideways and wobbles on itself. When paused, it sinks slowly horizontally, wobbling like a wounded prey.
This swimbait features a hyper-innovative system enabling it to reach record casting distances for a 3-part articulated lure: the pendulum lock system. This patented system is revolutionary in that it locks the 2 moving parts when casting - allowing the lure to stay in line like an arrow. The Mirage JT 161 is even one of the rare swimbaits to feature a tungsten ball mass transfer system in the tail. Combined, these 2 technologies enable it to reach exceptional distances for a swimbait.
The Mirage JT 161 is the perfect swimbait for big predators (big pike, big black bass, etc.) Note that its creator Iroshi Takahashi initially designed it for use at sea on big predators (sea bass, tassergals, barracudas, etc.) - which is rare for a swimbait.
The Mirage JT 161 features a flexible TPE tail which is interchangeable.
