A 15-year company veteran and obsessive angler (snook and tarpon at home in Sebastian, FL; stripers at the Cape Cod Canal on the road), Chris explains the technology platforms behind Yo-Zuri's most trusted lures and how he actually fishes them.   Covered in this episode: how the patented magnetic weight transfer system delivers distance and accuracy in wind; the difference between the Mag and Hydro platforms; why the Mag Darter's swim-plus-dart action excels around bridges, inlets, and shadow lines; fishing the swing in moving water; the Mag Pencil and the durable pearl-in-the-plastic finishes; the shallow-running Hydro Minnow LC and a quick lesson in lip design; the Hydro Monster Shot's dying-baitfish fall (an albie killer); the 3D Inshore series; and Chris's top Northeast colors \u2014 and the logic for when to match the hatch versus stand out.   Every lure discussed is available at saltwateredge.com.
