About this piece
The Whiplash Spittin' Wire is a surface shad pencil designed to disturb the water with action, sound, and splash. Unlike the sharp cut of the Live Wire, the Spittin' Wire pushes water strongly with a rolling action, offering versatile movement beyond a pure popper. It combines a slightly thicker shad body with sound generation, producing moderate noise and spray with each twitch.
