Master Power-Mid-Strolling: The Soft Minnow for Technique Newbies

1. Unlocking the Secrets of Mid-Strolling: The Genesis of DRIFT FRY

Mid-Strolling is technique favored by professional anglers in Japan and are considered some of the most subtle moving baits. Recently, due to the success of 2023 BASS ELITE at Lake Champlain Champion Kyoya Fujita, this technique has gained attention in the U.S. as well. At first glance, it may seem like you're just shaking the rod to retrieve the jig-head-rigged soft-plastic, but the technique actually requires "keeping the bait at a consistent depth while rolling it," which is incredibly challenging. Because they are subtle baits with less drawing power than hard baits like crankbaits, it's crucial for anglers to swim the lure through the targeted fish's range, maintaining a consistent depth during retrieval.

2. A Unique Bill Makes Mid-Strolling Easier

Drift Fry is developed by Jackall to make Mid-Strolling accessible even for beginners. By adding a bill to the soft-plastic, it has become easier to produce rolling actions, making it less likely to rise to the surface. This makes Drift Fry an ideal soft minnow for beginners trying to master Mid-Strolling, allowing anyone to easily maintain a consistent depth while rolling the lure.

3. A Hole for Easier Rigging

Given the delicate nature of Mid-Strolling, rigging is crucial. If you don't set the hook and weight properly, you won't achieve a smooth/consistent rolling action. Drift Fry 5.2” has 'Guide Hole' for setting jighead hooks in the best position.

4. Improve your catch rate with the use of two types of tails and three sizes.

As of 2024, there are three sizes available for Drift Fry. When you feel that the 3.0” and 4.0” sizes lack the ability to draw fish from afar, and when you think about using jig-heads heavier than 1/8oz(3.5g), the Drift Fry Mellow 5.2” emerges as the go-to option for what's known as the 'Power-Mid-Strolling’ technique.

The tail, same as the 4.0” model, can be trimmed to produce a more subdued action. When you want to attract more fish, use it straight out of the package. When bass are not biting, either cut the tail or downsize to 4.0” or 3.0” to potentially improve your catch."

5. Adjust the Target Range with Jighead Weight

You can change the target depth for Drift Fry’s Mid-Strolling by adjusting the weight of the jighead. If you want to target shallow waters, use lighter weights. While weights under 1/8oz (3.5g) are recommended for the 3.0” and 4.0” models, the 5.2” is specifically designed for use in Power-Mid-Strolling, making it comfortable to use with weights over 1/8oz (3.5g).

6. Improve Catch Rates with Color Selection

The Drift Fry Mellow 5.2” utilizes a 'Laminate Manufacturing' process, different from the 3.0” and 4.0” models, achieving colors that blend more naturally with water and have a lifelike vitality, resulting in an appearance akin to real fish.

For Secret use-Jerking-

The Drift Fry Mellow 5.2” can also be used as a jerkbait by cutting the lip. In such cases, installing a 3/64oz (1.3g) nail weight in the belly results in a very enticing fall in the water.
