• For Trahira

  Target structure like weed beds and submerged logs, as traíra are ambush predators. Use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs.

• For Redbreast tilapia

• For Small-scaled pacu

  Present your bait or lure near submerged vegetation or fallen trees, as pacu often seek shelter and food in these areas. Use a strong line and hook due to their powerful jaws.
