The Artist 120 HWT is the lure of choice when a classic minnow lacks casting distance or doesn’t handle fast retrieves well enough. This sinking, silent version relies on its trajectory, speed, and changes in pace rather than noise. It’s used with a forceful cast-and-retrieve technique, rod high, with short pauses to break the swimming line and trigger following fish. The 42g weight allows you to target offshore hunts and remain effective when predators are moving quickly. The through-wire construction really comes into its own during powerful fights, paired with a setup featuring strong PE braided line, substantial fluorocarbon leader, and hooks sized for large fish.
