The Atomic Hardz Slappa is a classic surface crawler with aluminium wings. It is perfect in areas where large bass and cod overlap. Ideal in gorge country and freshwater rivers that hold murray cod. Most often used with bait cast outfits due to their casting accuracy. Anything in the 10-17 and 12-25lb bracket will work, spooled with 20lb plus braid. Use a loop knot for the best action.
