Vudu Mullet
A perfect weapon to add to anglers’ red drum, speckled trout, and striped bass arsenals, the new Egret Baits 3.5” Vudu Mullet offers tough construction and a highly realistic swimming action on the retrieve.
The new lures’ seductive swimming action has proven universally appealing, and anglers are finding success with snook in Florida and trevally in Hawaii in addition to reds, specks, and much more on the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. The segmented tail that delivers that action is similar to that on Egret’s popular Vudu Shrimp, but vertically oriented to mimic the swimming motion of a mullet rather than a crustacean.
Though a soft lure, the Vudu Mullet are designed for durability, and the “soft” plastic is actually the same compound used in the soles of tennis shoes. A durable woven mesh runs the length of the segmented tail and lends even more toughness to the lures, so they’ll stand up to plenty of trips in and out of the mouths of specks and red drum in North Carolina’s salt marshes, sounds, and river systems.
A ¼ oz. internal weight and aerodynamic shape give the Vudu Mullet excellent castability, perfect for anglers looking to keep their distance from spooky reds in a shallow bay. A medium sink rate allows the lure to be fished in a variety of water depth and current situations as anglers can employ a stop-and-go action to probe deeper waters or keep the tail kicking with a quick retrieve to attract attention in the shallows without fouling bottom.
A quality VMC saltwater treble hook dangling from the VUDU Mullet’s bellies means that anglers need not worry about rusty hardware or lost fish due to broken or straightened hooks, the downfall of many otherwise excellent lures.
Vudu Mullet are available in seven colors ranging from very natural patterns to bright pink and chartreuse hues that will bring fish in from a distance. They retail for $6.99 and anglers can find Vudu Mullet at local Egret Dealers or visit www.egretbaits.com for more information.
