The Explorer Shallow 20g Tenya is a specialized fishing lure designed for shallow water fishing, particularly effective in depths where traditional tenyas may not perform optimally. Its unique design and features make it a valuable tool for targeting various species, including sparids such as gilt-head bream, pagrus, dentex, boarfish, and sar.
- Anti-Reverse Rod: A metal anti-reverse rod secures the shrimp in place, preventing it from sliding down the shank during retrieval or in strong currents.
- Main Hook: Reinforced and ultra-sharp, the main hook's shape closely matches that of a shrimp, ensuring a natural presentation.
- Assist Hook: The round assist hook is made of strong iron with formidable sharpness. Its size is ideal for sparids, and when planted in the shrimp's head, it effectively strikes at the slightest touch.
- 65 lb Braid with Silicone Strands: The assist hook's braid features fine fluorescent silicone strands that mimic the color of the tenya. These long and flexible strands resemble the legs and antennae of a shrimp, enhancing the lure's attractiveness through their mobility and vibrations in the water.
- "Stand Up" Position: The specific flat section beneath the tenya ensures it lands flat upon touching the bottom, preventing it from tipping on its side. Angled at 45°, the hook remains elevated relative to the bottom, reducing the risk of snags and providing an optimal natural presentation for timid sparid bites.
- Boat Hull Shape: The underside of the tenya is shaped like a boat hull, allowing it to glide over the bottom without snagging and giving it a planing swim.
