VMC Mustache 20g is a detachable head for pike shads, which is screwed in front of the shad and adds a voluminous bucktail profile designed for big pike; the large, blunt front end displaces a lot of water, allowing the shad to maintain a lively swimming action even at slow retrieves and producing a clear stimulus signal. The water movement generated by the lure is a key factor in big pike fishing. The package includes a floating foam disc for fine-tuning the swimming depth. Tip: rig with VMC Pike Chain or Pike Rig Stinger. Lead-free.
The structure combines a lead-free metal body (20 g) and high-quality bucktail fiber (deer tail), which increases the silhouette and softens the shad's movement. The screw attachment is quick to install in front of the shad, and the head stays firmly in place during repeated casting and retrieving. The flexible bucktail fiber breathes in the water, supporting the lure's rhythmic movement without obstructing the shad's tail action.
A special feature is the blunt front profile, which creates a clear pressure wave and enhances the shad's side flash even during slow retrieves or pauses. With the included foam disc, you can add buoyancy and fine-tune the lure's swimming level relative to the shad's size and weighting. Compatibility with VMC Pike Chain and Pike Rig Stinger makes it easy to build a complete setup and ensures a neat, functional rig.
Summary: this bucktail detachable head increases the shad's silhouette and adds water displacement, ensuring the lure's lively movement even during slow retrieves. The lead-free body, easy screw attachment, and included foam disc provide a versatile and functional way to finalize a big pike lure.
Usage recommendation: screw the head in front of the shad, adjust buoyancy with the foam disc according to the shad's size and other weighting, and finalize the setup with a VMC Pike Chain or Pike Rig Stinger rig.
