Illex Deracoup Tail Spinner Motor Oil Tiger

The Illex Deracoup Jig Spinner Motor Oil Tiger is a small tail spinner in a natural finish.

The Illex Deracoup Motor Oil Tiger is a mini jig spinner with a long casting distance. Its stocky metal body is modelled on a small prey fish and features a spinner blade that rotates at the rear. The subdued, brownish-green motor oil tone with dark tiger stripes looks unobtrusive in the water and is reminiscent of small perch and other prey fish.

A heavy weight in a small body!

Despite its body length of just 2.2 to 3.2 cm, the Deracoup weighs 7, 10, 14 or 21 g depending on the version. This high density makes it an excellent long-cast lure that also reaches depth quickly. This allows large areas of water to be covered quickly, enabling you to reach fish that are far out or on deep edges.

Easy to work at any speed.

The Deracoup is one of those lures that doesn't require much practice. Cast it out, let it sink and reel it in, as the blade spins, whether you're retrieving it quickly or slowly. The yo-yo retrieve is just as effective: lift the lure with the rod, letting it sink back down while keeping the line taut. This alternation between retrieving and pausing often entices even the most sluggish of fish to bite. The size 8 treble hook suits the lure’s small profile.

Motor Oil Tiger: A natural finish for wary fish.

This colour really comes into its own in clear to slightly coloured water, when loud lures tend to put fish off. The Deracoup is an ideal perch lure when predators are wary or have already seen plenty of lures on heavily fished waters. When retrieved quickly and close to the surface, it becomes an asp lure, and thanks to its casting distance it can also reach predatory fish in the middle of the current. Chub, trout and pike are also among the target species. Anyone looking for a blade bait or tailspinner to actively search for fish will find the Illex Deracoup a reliable companion.
