FAQs

What is the primary advantage of the Dexter Wedge's shape?

The unique wedge shape is designed to create an irresistible wobbling action in the water, which is highly attractive to a wide variety of fish species.

Can this lure be used for jigging?

Yes, the Dexter Wedge is designed to be versatile and can be effectively used as a jigging lure in addition to being a casting lure.

What types of fish is the Dexter Wedge effective for?

It is attractive to many species in both salt and freshwater, including mackerel, pollock, cod, ling, coalfish, pike, and zander, depending on the conditions and size of the lure.

How does the reflective foil help attract fish?

The highly reflective silver foil changes color as it moves through the water, mimicking the flash of baitfish and making the lure more visible and enticing to predators.

What are the available sizes/weights for the Dexter Wedge?

The Dexter Wedge is available in weights ranging from 10g up to 200g, allowing anglers to choose the best option for different fishing depths and conditions.

Is maintenance required for the Dexter Wedge?

Yes, it's recommended to rinse the lure with fresh water after each use (especially in saltwater) and dry it thoroughly before storage to maintain its condition and reflective properties.

What is the purpose of using the Dexter Wedge in 'wrecking situations'?

In wrecking situations, it can be substituted for lead weights to offer an additional chance of attracting bites when fishing lures, feathers, or Hokkai rigs in deep water.

Troubleshooting

Lure not wobbling effectively

Ensure the split ring is not twisted and the hook is freely attached. Check that the lure is not snagged or has any damage to its shape.

Hooks tangling with the main line

Consider using a snap swivel or a slightly longer leader to provide more separation between the lure and the line.

Reflective foil losing its shine

Rinse the lure thoroughly with fresh water after use and dry it completely. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods.

Difficulty casting long distances

Ensure your reel has adequate line capacity and is spooled correctly. Check for line twists or tangles. Match the lure weight to your rod's casting capabilities.

  • Effective in both fresh and saltwater
  • Highly visible due to reflective foil
  • Robust build quality with quality components

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Dexter Wedge is ready to use out of the package. Attach it to your fishing line using a reliable knot or a snap swivel. Ensure the split rings and hooks are securely fastened.

Compatibility: This lure is compatible with a wide range of spinning and casting rods. The 60g weight is versatile, but heavier variants (e.g., 100g+) may benefit from a rod with a higher casting weight rating. It performs well in both freshwater and saltwater conditions.

Care: To maintain its effectiveness and appearance:

  1. Rinse the lure with fresh water after each use, especially after saltwater fishing, to prevent corrosion.
  2. Dry the lure thoroughly before storing.
  3. Store the lure in a tackle box or lure wrap, preferably separated from other lures to avoid scratching the reflective foil. Avoid storing it in direct sunlight for extended periods.
