The NOEBY Volant 150F is a new floating stickbait developed for saltwater anglers who want an easy-to-control lure with an active presentation. During recent field testing, the Volant 150F showed a distinctive side-to-side action, strong flash and an attractive rolling movement just below the surface.
Rather than requiring complicated rod movements, the Volant 150F is easy to work with a steady sweep of the rod. The lure quickly responds with a sharp, side-to-side slashing action while maintaining a stable swimming position. This makes it practical for anglers who want to cover water efficiently without constantly changing their retrieve technique.

Easy Action with a Simple Retrieve
One of the most noticeable features during testing was how easily the Volant 150F responded to a relatively simple retrieve.
A steady sweep was enough to get the stickbait moving from side to side, creating a lively presentation in the water. The action could also be adjusted by changing the speed and rhythm of the retrieve, giving anglers more flexibility depending on the conditions and target species.
This straightforward response is particularly useful when fishing unfamiliar water. Instead of spending a long time finding the right technique, anglers can quickly get the Volant 150F working and focus on covering productive areas.

Flash and Rolling Movement Under the Surface
The Volant 150F also showed an interesting response after diving below the surface.
During faster retrieves, the stickbait continued to flash and roll just under the surface rather than losing its action. This combination of movement and flash created additional visual stimulation and resulted in several reaction bites during testing.
For saltwater fishing, where fish may respond quickly to movement, flash and changes in retrieve speed, this gives the Volant 150F another useful presentation option. Anglers can work it steadily, speed up the retrieve or vary the rhythm to create different levels of movement.
Designed for Practical Saltwater Fishing
The goal of the Volant 150F is not to make lure operation unnecessarily complicated. Its design focuses on producing an active presentation with relatively simple rod work, allowing anglers to spend more time fishing and less time adjusting their technique.
Casting performance is another practical part of the design. The Volant 150F can be cast effectively to cover water and work areas where predators are actively feeding. Once in the water, its responsive action gives anglers multiple ways to present the lure depending on the situation.
This combination of casting ability, easy action and flexible retrieve makes the Volant 150F suitable for a range of saltwater fishing applications.
Tested on the Water
For NOEBY, field testing is an important part of understanding how a new lure performs beyond controlled development conditions. Actual fishing provides information that cannot always be gained from testing the lure in isolation.
With the Volant 150F, recent testing focused on how easily the lure could be worked, how it responded to different retrieve speeds and how its action changed beneath the surface.
The results showed that the stickbait could maintain a noticeable presentation across different retrieve speeds while remaining easy to control. More importantly, the lure produced real reaction bites during testing, providing useful feedback for its practical performance on the water.
A New Option for Saltwater Anglers
The NOEBY Volant 150F brings together a responsive side-to-side action, strong flash and rolling movement in a floating stickbait designed for practical saltwater fishing.
Its simple retrieve response makes it easy to work, while changes in retrieve speed can create different presentations beneath the surface. Combined with its casting performance and active action, the Volant 150F gives saltwater anglers another option when targeting aggressive predators.
As more fishing tests are carried out, NOEBY will continue collecting feedback from anglers in different saltwater environments. These real-world experiences will help demonstrate how the Volant 150F performs across different conditions and fishing techniques.
