Description
The Exciter Bird creates a disturbance in the water that imitates a small school of nervous baitfish. This chaos triggers the predatory instincts of tuna, marlin and other pelagic hunters. They hustle over to investigate what appears to be vulnerable prey, only to find your trolled lures ready and waiting below the surface. It’s the perfect way to draw in fish from a distance and improve your odds of a strike.
