Karashi 80

KARASHI 80 brings the genre-defying performance of the 59mm original to a harder-hitting middleweight size, expanding its deadly reach to a new class of targets. Harnessing Yuki Ito’s hard won hydrodynamic expertise, KARASHI unleashes bait-busting surface action with a fast retrieve and upward rod twitches, surface dog-walking, subsurface twitch-walking, and finesse i-motion with a straight retrieve. KARASHI 80’s extended darting range and dynamic ability are decisive strike triggers for targets that track other baits but won’t commit. With the uncanny range to coax even the wariest targets from inactive to active feeding stages, the KARASHI 80 is the embodiment of a deadly new class of Japanese lure technology. Action types: I-Motion – employ a super-slow retrieve just fast enough to keep the target depth range. The defenseless wobbling action evokes injured bait, triggering bites from opportunistic feeders. Twitching – work in a twitch of the rod to set the KARASHI darting sub-surface, exhibiting an agile dart that triggers reaction bites from followers. Dog-walk – a rhythmic twitch on the surface will deliver an irresistibly smooth dog-walking action. Pauses will allow the KARASHI to slow-sink and then walk its way back to the surface like a baitfish rising to escape. Bait-busting – with fast, upwards twitches of the rod and a speedy retrieve, the KARASHI walks, splashes and leaps along the surface like fleeing baitfish, triggering devastating strikes from aggressive feeders.
