The Wave Crawler is a surface-based, hard-rigged lure that is typically used when targeting pelagic species. Most Wave Crawlers have a beveled or recessed head, so that a static state in the water presents a head-light, slightly tilted presentation. This type of lure is better suited for use on sunny days and calm waters.
Fishing with a wave crawler may cause sparks to appear on the surface of the water, and also create a thumping sound, similar to the sound of a big fish feeding on a small fish in its sleep, and other big fish will be driven by curiosity to peer into the middle and upper layers of the water to spy on or attack the fake bait.
Generally speaking, early morning and evening, when the wind is calm, is the most suitable for playing wave crawler, because at this time, predatory fish will be feeding in the upper water layer, which also makes it easier to find this kind of lure.
The operation of the wave crawler is relatively simple, mainly a combination of moving, reeling, and stopping repeatedly, and different strengths will cause different waves, which will have a very different impact on the water surface, and require some practice to master.
