Toppies Pintius

An Extremely Versatile Pintail Shad

The Toppies Pintius is a pintail shad available in 2 sizes, designed to be extremely versatile across a wide range of techniques and rigs.

• Drop shot rig - it performs exceptionally well and is highly effective at catching fish, and it also survives countless takes. Losing the lure when nose-hooking is virtually unheard of.
• Dart jig - thanks to its slim, streamlined body, the Pintius displays a superb gliding action on a dart jig. It darts effortlessly through the water straight into the next predator's mouth.
• Carolina rig & Texas rig - this is where its buoyant nature really comes into its own. Fitted with a slightly heavier offset hook, the buoyancy is neutralised and the lure glides weightlessly in a zigzag across the bottom before slowly sinking. With a lighter hook - such as a fine-wire drop shot hook - it rises slowly. Pauses are particularly worthwhile here, as bites typically come during those resting moments.
• Midstrolling - the Pintius is excellent for midstrolling. This approach to fishing mid-water is growing in popularity, and the Pintius handles it with ease.
• And much more - just give it a try!

Fine Details That Make a Great All-Round Package

The Toppies Pintius is not only buoyant - it also comes with a number of thoughtful features that are either fish-catching or simply practical. It carries a built-in attractant scent, which makes a real difference during slow retrieves. Certain colour patterns feature UV activity for improved visibility in low-light conditions such as coloured water or at dusk. A hook-centring guide makes rigging straightforward, and a belly slot for offset hooks is included to keep everything aligned. However you rig and fish the Toppies Pintius, it will perform.
