Jackall MAGNUM DERABALL is an upsized hybrid soft swimbait, sitting between a crankbait and a shad. With around 20% more size and volume than the original, it keeps the same proven action while offering a bigger profile for large predators such as pike, black bass, big perch and catfish.
The compact, very dense "ball" body casts far and skips cleanly under overhanging trees and other tight spots. On a simple steady retrieve it produces a tight, nervous swimming action that works well in shallow water, along undercut banks, around deadwood, weedbeds, lily pads and rocky structure.
Originally designed for shallow fishing, it can easily be fished deeper by adding a tungsten bullet in front of the lure. The line-thru rigging lets the leader slide through the body during the fight so the lure moves up the line, helping to reduce leverage and lost fish. A strong treble hook, double whipped to a rolling swivel, allows 360° rotation for secure hook-ups and better landing rates.
