Tict Flopper Bros 55 Lures

One of the finest and most effective Pencils ever made, the big brother of Flopper, specialized in searching shallow rocky areas for the Mediterranean White Seabream & Seabass, that will only be caught with the most finesse fishing technique.

By increasing the size of the solid body to 55mm as it is, Tict has achieved an outstanding flight distance, that does not take a little wind. Even if you just reel it in very slowly, the Flopper will swim firmly, just below the surface and appeal to the rockfish that is conscious of the surface layer. Also, if you let it free, it will produce the motion of a weak bait with a horizontal fall, while rolling. A dead-slow sinking pencil that you can swim and drop. Lets examine a little more closely the Tict Flopper Bros and what it can offer.

At 5.5 cm of length & 5.3 gr of weight, this Tict Pencil upholds the “three golden rules” that we look for in any lure. Firstly, Vibrating Fall: after our lure has been casted and comes to a pause, we want it to slowly sink towards the sea floor with a realistic wobbling movement. The Tict Flopper Bros sinks horizontally, with major wobbling and is graded as “excellent” in its field.

Secondly, we want our Pencil to swim, even in a slow retrieval. Again the Tict Flopper Bros checks all the positive boxes in all fields. Japanese leading company Tict, informs us of the obvious, from the very first tests we did: even in a dead slow retrieve, (the manufacturer specifies that this lure specializes in this technique) its swimming motion is flawless and realistic.

Thirdly, we want our Pencils to react  immediately to all our commands without delay. The absence of a lip in most Pencils instead of making them more flexible, it makes it more weary. That doesn’t occur in the Tict Flopper. It has the quickest reaction to the mildest Twitch.

In general, Pencils are lures that allow your fantasy to take action in many different strategies, a Floating Minnow wouldn’t allow. To begin with they are better at casting, even against the strongest wind. But how do we fish these lures? Tict suggests you keep the lure close to the surface, with a combination of movements at steady retrievals and every now and again allow it to sink. The fact that it works well at a depth between 10 to 30 cm makes it ideal for shallow rocky areas. But that’s only one of its capabilities. Watch the video below to see how effective the lure works with Barracuda & English White Treavally in harbors.

Tict manufactures the Flopper Bros 55 in an impressive range of colors, which includes natural colors, as well as Glow, or with UV elements. We propose to explore the potential of this lure when the conditions require one of the finest lures in the market. Only then you will realize its full potential.
