The Cardiff Folletta is a very versatile slow sinking lure that can be used in many ways and is especially effective for trout in both rivers and still waters. When twitched it produces a wide kicking nervous action, yet on a constant retrieve is moves with a tight rolling action.
The Cardiff Folletta is a must have lure for trout anglers who like to fish rivers. The slow sinking buoyancy ensures the lure stays under the surface and directly in the trout’s line of sight, even when paused. Give it a series of short, sharp jerks and you’ll see the Folletta adopt the ‘nervous’ kicking action with a finishing roll similar to that of a small bait fish. Using a smooth and constant retrieve, especially in fast water produces a tight rolling action with lots of stability.
