Besides fishing, one of my other hobbies is collecting fishing lures. Having a "tackle store" in my basement, I have thousands of lures for multiple species. While fishing for Yellowcheek on my recent trip to China, despite my low catch rate, I predominately used the Jackall Gantarel and Gantarel Jr. lures. These are jointed body lures representing bluegills. With a steady retrieve they swim slow and natural, or give it a twitch and the lure turns 180 degrees sometimes triggering a strike. The body has a wire through harness with rotating hook and natural looking pectoral fins. On a steady retrieve the lure dives about 3 feet. They come with feathered hooks, but I replaced them as I deemed them not very strong. Am anxious to see if these lures can hold up to the fierce golden dorado of La Zona.
How did this lure do with the Dorado? I see it looks like the local bait fish?
