The DA VINCI ELEMENTS 190 is the mid-size model in the lineup. Measuring 19 cm and weighing 56 g, it allows for respectable casting distances and offers a substantial bite for predators interested in the nutritional value such a fish could provide. The Da Vinci has a serpentine swimming action made possible by its unique diagonal joint. It moves naturally with a slow, steady retrieve, but its action can be enhanced with light, regular rod jerks to further offset its movement. You can replace the delta tail with a rumble tail. This adds more volume to the lure and allows for a serpentine swim even with a very slow retrieve, which is particularly effective on less active fish—usually toward the end of the season when the water is cold.
