The largest of the Mag Darter lineup, the Yo-Zuri MAG DARTER™ R1216 Black Back 6-1/2″ is built to cast far, swim true, and tempt trophy-class predators. Its patented magnetic weight transfer system ensures long, straight casts even into strong winds, while the inverted cupped face and tight rolling action create an erratic darting movement underwater. Outfitted with 3X trebles, stainless steel split rings, and full wire-through construction, it is engineered for toughness against striped bass, muskie, and other big gamefish.

Media & How-to

Rigging Tips:

Best fished with a slow, steady retrieve to let the natural darting action work. Effective for surf, jetty, and pier casting with medium to medium-heavy tackle. Can also be twitched occasionally to add extra flash and trigger strikes.
