Let It Roll

Whiplash Factory's Let It Roll is a jointed surface crankbait, designed to swim just below the surface and disturb the water during the retrieve. Working it with the rod held high produces a pronounced surface action, with a swimming depth of 0-10 cm. Its articulated construction delivers a presentation based on movement, flash and vibration, combining different stimuli to attract predators as the lure moves through the water.

The Let It Roll stands out for its ability to maintain a stable swimming action from dead-slow to medium retrieves, tracking more reliably than its body shape might suggest. The lure can handle surprisingly brisk retrieves without losing its swimming balance. This allows anglers to vary the presentation by adjusting the reeling speed, switching from a slow approach to a more assertive retrieve and adapting the pace to fishing conditions and predator responses.

The lure features a cavity at the base of the diving lip containing a glass ball, paired with a "WF MC Leaf Blade #1" mounted on a swivel built into the rear of the body. During the retrieve, the blade produces flash, vibration and contact sounds, adding visual and acoustic attraction to the lure's movement. This combination provides continuous surface stimuli, with the jointed body and rear metal blade working together to make the presentation more noticeable.

The 81.7 mm body, weighing approximately 18.6 g, features careful construction throughout its connection points, with reinforced eyelet and joint components compared with those commonly used. Lure control depends mainly on rod position and retrieve speed: keeping the rod tip high allows it to work along the surface and agitate the upper layer of water. Retrieves ranging from dead-slow to medium offer a broad operating range, allowing anglers to adjust the pace while maintaining the surface presentation and the attraction generated by the rear blade.
