It equipped with a sufficiently large hook, and it was bent hooked up. Bottom studs nailed a strip of lead. Tree species used different, but the light, everything depended on the local customs.

Modern design patterns repeat his "great-grandfather." Material for manufacturing - wood. Ogruzka (usually lead) is poured into the lure body. This variant invented our experts Bumble Lure (Croatia). At this enterprise hand made Croatian egg. bait sizes:

1. Large:

- Name: Jerk J-9;

- Weight: 9 grams;

- size: 52 mm.

2. Small:

- Name: Jerk J-7;

- Weight: 7 grams;

- Size: 47 mm.

It can be equipped with one or more hooks. It is made of balsa wood species, different strength and excellent buoyancy. Balancing principle reminds Tumbler Roly-Poly. Housing pigs covered with durable yacht varnish. Successful egg-shaped form does not allow the bait to be filled up or roll over. Thus, the hook is always above the water, avoiding the capture of grass. The front portion is directed downward, it promotes the formation of waves and noise. Furthermore, the hook is raised above the water surface.

bait colors may be different, they are selected depending on the season and time of day:
