About this piece
The Valleyhill Elma90S is a sinking pencil lure engineered specifically for shallow, low-flow environments such as small to medium rivers, brackish lakes, and sheltered inshore areas. Its unique body design provides optimal performance in thin water with weak currents, covering three speed ranges to handle varied presentation needs.
Key features
- Sinking pencil design with forward-horizontal attitude for stable action
- Slow speed: tail swing with buoyant feel for drift fishing
- Medium speed: natural S-wake with suppressed roll and turn angle
- Fast speed: bow wave S-wake effective for daytime and pressured conditions
- Chin protrusion prevents roll-over at high speed for surface persistence
- Hook setup: #4 treble hooks with #3 split rings
Best for
- Small to medium river fishing in low-tide conditions
- Inside shallow river runs and backwaters
- Gravel beaches near fishing ports
- Surf and inland bay shorelines
