GAD Bonum

GAD Jets Bonum is a large and active minnow for pike fishing. It comes in three sizes: 75, 90 and 105 mm; and two modifications: Suspending (SP) and Floating (F).

The SP version goes as deep as 1,5 meters, the Floating one enables you to work at shallow water. This depth has already become classical and universal for pike jig baits.

GAD Bonum is a long-range lure, which is facilitated by the casting system consisting of two big movable balls, secured in the special chamber. When you cast, the balls move towards the tail of the lure, giving it perfect flying characteristics. When you start retrieving, they return to their place in the head and together with non-movable balls provide the lure with the necessary balancing.

If your jigging is energetic, the balls may move to the tail. At this moment the balance changes, which leads to unexpected rollovers and change of the working level. Sometimes it have a positive effect on biting. The noise, emitted by the balls, is an additional irritating factor, which influences the lateral line of the predator together with water waves created by the lure body during its action.

Different types of retrievals can be applied with this minnow: straight retrieval, stop-and-go retrieval, ripping, jerking of different intensity. Surely, their combinations are even more effective once used with pauses of different duration. During straight retrieval the action of the minnow is mainly characterized by wobbling (right-left horizontal oscillation along the long axis) and rolling (body rotations relative to the long axis, but less significant).

In places with a lot of snags and fallen branches 105F-SR version is more preferable. And you can easily overcome all the obstacles with a slow straight retrieval. If you’ve felt that the lure hit the snag, stop retrieving and let the rod follow the lure. It will let the lure surface over the obstacle, wobbling a bit. After that continue retrieving.

If you use jerking technique, the lure moves from side to side, and the wobbling component becomes even more distinct.

Don’t be afraid to make pauses while retrieving. Sometimes fish bites only during these pauses. More than that, their normal duration is 10-15 seconds.

To defend it from numerous attacks of a large-toothed predator, the minnow is made of durable plastic, moreover a special coloration technology is applied.

This is a cheap simple lure that will bring large hauls of fish with its reliable versions of coloration – what else do you need for successful fishing?

Originally created for pike fishing, GAD Bonum demonstrates a steady job while fishing for perch and pikeperch. Moreover, at fishing for the latter one, you very often need to let it go as deep as 1,5 meters. And its perfect action both at straight retrieval and jerking enables you to successfully catch pikeperch without changing the lure.
