Spittin' Wire

Whiplash Factory's Spittin' Wire is a shad-profile topwater pencil bait designed to combine movement, sound and water spray. Its shad-shaped body, slightly bulkier than the Live Wire, produces a sinuous action and pronounced water displacement. The cupped mouth adds a sound component to the presentation, offering a wide range of actions for exploring the surface and working promising spots thoroughly.

The Spittin' Wire stands out for its ability to generate short lateral movements accompanied by flank roll, combining visual and acoustic stimuli with every movement. Each twitch makes the lure spit water and produce a subtle sound, complemented by its mixed-tone internal rattling. The result is a multifaceted presentation, with body movement, sound and water expelled from the cupped mouth all contributing to the lure's appeal.

The lure allows anglers to alternate short surface slides, dives and darts just below the surface by adjusting the timing and intensity of rod input. This versatility makes it possible to switch from a controlled and repetitive presentation to an erratic action, adapting the sequence to the predators' responses. To produce the basic action, simply combine small rod-tip twitches with a rhythmic, synchronized retrieve, maintaining precise coordination between rod movement and line pickup.

The hydrodynamic resistance of the cupped mouth limits the lure's forward movement, allowing multiple actions within a confined space. This is useful for working a spot with repeated and enticing movements, keeping the lure in the strike zone for longer. Its excellent casting performance also allows anglers to cover extensive areas, including those with submerged vegetation, alternating broad searches with pinpoint presentations.
