Trembly Tiddler 95S

Whiplash Factory's Trembly Tiddler 95S is a sinking lure with a slim and jointed body, designed to reproduce the unsteady swimming action of a weakened baitfish. A dead-slow to slow retrieve produces gentle body oscillations and an erratic movement near the surface. Its subtle action delivers a presentation based on barely perceptible movements, ideal for imitating struggling prey and attracting predators in both saltwater and freshwater.

The Trembly Tiddler 95S stands out for its ability to combine a weak swimming action with sinuous movements and changes of direction, achieved with small twitches of the rod tip. Minimal input is enough to activate the jointed body, reproducing the darting movements of a struggling baitfish. This responsiveness allows for a delicate presentation, alternating short bursts of action with slow retrieves and varying the lure's movement through measured use of the rod.

The lure is well suited to the "Shake & Go" technique, which involves alternating gentle shakes with a slow retrieve, repeating the sequence to simulate the behaviour of weakened prey. As it falls on a tight line, the body sinks diagonally forwards, swaying gently. This feature adds another presentation option, allowing anglers to alternate near-surface swimming with a controlled descent, while maintaining the gentle, wavering movement that defines the lure's action.

The 95 mm body, weighing approximately 13.7 g, provides good casting distance. In freshwater, it's suitable for black bass, while it can be used to target European seabass and gilthead seabream in brackish waters. Its subtle swimming action is also effective during marine worm hatches, when these predators feed near the surface. To preserve its delicate movements, a leader no heavier than 16 lb is recommended, paired with gentle rod work and slow retrieves.

Supplied with #8 treble hooks and #2 split rings.
