Atlas Lures Helio
Named after the heliograph (using mirrors to communicate), this lure is great for any skill level. Completely handmade in Portsmouth, NH. Solid resin, stainless spring steel frame and lead-free. Also offered in foil which adds realism, depth, layers and flash. Check the photos to see the difference between foiled and unfoiled.
A simple rod-tip down straight retrieve gives it a great swimming action. Adding twitches gives a great “fleeing“ motion big predatory fish can’t resist (mimics when they are being aggressively fed on and trying to get back to the school). A sweep and pause makes it rapidly vibrate and swim then flutter down the water column. The flat sides of Helio give it an extended flash to get the attention of distant fish or in murky water. You can also remove the tail hook on all versions for greater action.
Because every lure is handmade and painted, there may be variances.
