Every Masters size up to 185mm comes in two versions: floating and sinking. They’re made from different timbers and they swim differently.
Floating: Korean pine
The floating Masters is shaped from Korean pine and works the surface for explosive topwater strikes. Work it fast when fish are fired up, slow it down when they’re hesitant, or pause it and let the floating timber sit in the strike zone.
Sinking: mahogany
The sinking Masters is shaped from mahogany. It gets below the surface with an erratic, skittish action that imitates a fleeing or wounded baitfish.
Which one should you buy?
- Want surface strikes you can see? Start with floating.
- Want to work the water just under the surface? Go sinking.
- Fishing 220mm or 250mm? Those sizes are floating only.
Built the same way
Both versions are hand-shaped, hand-painted one at a time and built on heavy-duty 2mm through-wire instead of screw eyes.
