No major damage or noticeable scratches. The hooks are sharp enough to catch on your fingernail and can be used as is. Zip Baits ZBL Fake Dog DS 70mm 8.4g Floating Color: Glow Head Chart Konoshiro "A 70mm pencil bait that combines light and easy dog-walking with a subtle, natural slide that interacts well with the water." Equipped with a high-purity tungsten weight (MZ-19) in the rear, it boasts class-leading casting distance, making it easy to search a wide area. As a result of thorough tuning of buoyancy and weight balance, it responds directly to rod work, allowing for a walking + slide action that "etches" the surface of the water finely. The selling point is its natural movement that is less likely to give the target a sense of discomfort, and its ease of use, which allows even topwater beginners to easily perform dog walks, is its greatest appeal. Tips for use • Basically, just etch a dog walk with light rod work. • Use short twitches when you want to reduce the distance traveled, and slightly stronger jerks when you want to search a wide area. • Even on windy days or when there are waves, you can take advantage of the water interaction with a stable action.
