Pontoon 21 TabaTao is definitely one of the most interesting novelties in the company’s collection. Until recently this model could be found only on the Japanese market. According to its idea this crank is quite original, first of all, because of its sound chamber and split shots. The chamber is constructively made as a spherical metal capsule, which has three relatively free-moving balls, differing in their unit weight. At first sight this construction should change the center of masses and upset the stability of action. Though in practice, it doesn’t happen whatsoever, at least, in ditch water it’s practically impossible to make this lure get into a spin. The size of TabaTao is also interesting. It’s a bit bigger than the usual size for chub fishing. This lure is perfect for fishing for small pike, average bass and small perch. As far as standard parameters are concerned, usual indicators of working qualities for our anglers, they are, undoubtedly, perfect: The range capability, due to the compact construction, is beyond praise. It is particularly vivid if there’s wind and you use multiplier reel. And there’re no problems if you cast against wind and know how to deal with this kind of tackle. The depth of the fast retrieve is approximately 1 meter, though it may vary. For example, if the retrieve is slow, the lure has a stable action and it can be retrieved closer to the surface. Very often you really need it. The buoyancy is just enough. The lure doesn’t jump out of water like a cork and doesn’t freeze like a suspend version. This kind of buoyancy enables to explore the shallow water and obstacles in there as well as retrieve the lure using Cover Cranking. As it was mentioned before, the stability is on the highest level. Well, and as a pleasant bonus, the position of eyes for treble hooks should be noted. They are situated far from each other. So, now, to some extent you may change the size of the hooks.
