The Diesel is a bass bait on steroids! It is not a subtle bait in the least. All Diesels now come through wired to withstand even more punishment. If you do not like a hard pounding bait this is not the lure for you. It has worked best in short lining situations, from 5-12'. But it also has the ability to go deep. At 4 mph at with 50 lbs braided line the diesel will go 20' deep with 100' of line out. 4" in length without the lip and weighs 1.8 oz
