Athlete 17SSV / 17FSV

The Athlete 17SSV and 17FSV with the Vortex Generator enables a mazing casting distance. Long minnows require a certain technique to cast well due to th eir length and not be aerodynamic and many longer minnows are difficu lt to cast long distance with stability. One of the biggest reasons for the casting difficulty is the shak ing movement of the body through the air which generates extra air resistance, which red uces casting distance. The Athlete 17SSV and 17FSV have the vortex generator on its lip,which can mitigate air resistance and reduce body shake, giving the Athlete 17SSV and FSV s tability in the air and in turn longer casting distances consistently. The average casting distance has been tested completely and fou nd that a lure with the vortex generator increases casting distance by 10.3%. The angler feel and experience the difference and its posture st ability even against the wind. It has the sharp darting action that is well known form the Ath lete series and also a wobbling and rolling action with slower retrieves, allowing the angler t o trigger reaction bites by jerking when required.
