No significant damage or noticeable scratches. The hooks are sharp enough to catch on claws and can be used as is. Zipbaits ZBL Fakie Dog DS 70mm 8.4g Floating Color: Glow Head Chart Konoshiro "A 70mm pencil bait that mixes exquisite natural slides with a light dog walk with minimal travel distance." Equipped with high-purity tungsten weight (MZ-19) in the rear, it boasts class-leading casting distance and is strong in its ability to search a wide area. As a result of thorough tuning of buoyancy and weight balance, it responds obediently to rod work, producing a walking + slide action that finely "chops" the water surface. Its selling point is its natural movement that doesn't give the target a sense of discomfort, and its greatest appeal is its ease of use, allowing even topwater beginners to easily perform a dog walk. Usage Tips • Basically, just chop out a dog walk with light rod work. • For shorter travel distance, use short twitches. For wider area searches, use slightly stronger jerks. • Even on windy or wavy days, it can utilize its water engagement with stable action.
