The Luhr-Jensen Hot Shots are self-planing diving plugs designed with a built-in deep-diving planning bill that has a maximum depth determined by its speed: the faster they are pulled, the deeper they dive. These lures feature a compact body, premium, 2X strong VMC round bend trebles, quick, wide-wobbling, and aggressive action. Hot Shots have become a staple of steelhead, trout, and salmon anglers alike for their fish-catching action and reliable performance Before back-trolling in rivers became a widely recognized and formalized technique, it was often simply referred to as "hot shooting," named for this game-changing lure that would forever alter steelhead fishing. With its compact body, deep-diving bill, and quick, wide, and aggressive action, the Hot Shot has become a staple of steelhead, trout, and salmon anglers alike. While usually backtrolled for river steelhead and salmon, the smaller sizes are outstanding as trolling lures in lakes for trout and kokanee or drift-fished in streams for trout. For lake fishing, fish them behind a lake troll or flat-line them far behind the boat. In rivers, cast them cross-current and allow them to swing through likely holding spots on the river. Each lure can be tuned for maximum success by making small adjustments to the screw-eye line attachment until it runs straight and true (if the lure runs to one side, slightly rotate the top of the screw eye in the opposite direction). In any application, brace yourself for savage strikes.
