About this piece
The Valleyhill Jado Drive Wire is a topwater pencil bait designed to trigger predatory strikes with its dramatic, cutting action on and just below the surface. Developed by Mr. Shinya, every aspect from the body prototype to the internal weight structure is handcrafted for precise drive and liveliness.
