Description

Match the smelt. "Wakasagi Bait" is an i-shaped lipless minnow with a unique body shape that allows baitfish to run away in a panic action. The floating model, which produces a beautiful undertow and shows a stable i-shaped action, has a high fish-collecting power that attracts bass even with dead sticking drifting on the surface of the water, but once the rod action is added, the baitfish is attacked by predators and panicked. It creates water ripples like this. In addition, the low resistance body that eliminates unevenness as much as possible and widens the dart width makes the bass jump out of the water with a panic action that will turn the bass' interest upward and bring it to the bite. Even with a sinking model that can aim under the surface of the water, this panic action will lead you to a bite with an unpredictable dirt action that makes baitfish escape. FLOATING model Length: 65mm body Weight: 3.5g 2020.8 release. SINKING model Length: 65mm body Weight: 4.3g 2020.8 release. BODY FORM The square body, which is small and slim but has a large capacity and makes it easy to set weights, not only provides sharp action with high buoyancy, but also contributes to outstanding long-distance casting performance and castability. The omitted scales and unevenness of the mold are suppressed, resulting in a low resistance body that greatly reduces water flow resistance and expands the range of dirt and skating. The floating model is printed on the back, and the sinking model is printed on the belly. TINSEL TAIL The role of the stabilizer is to suppress the unnatural shaking of the body, which gives a sense of discomfort due to the effects of water and wind, and bring about a sense of stability. In addition, the flickering and glittering tinsel tail, which is a fluorescent material that receives and reflects ultraviolet rays, is also an important factor that leads to a bite. *When the tinsel tail wears out, it may lose its original fishing ability, so it is recommended to replace it. Use your favorite tinsel for replacement. HOOK Adopted a swivel that follows the fierce fight of the big bass and greatly reduces cuts and hook offs. HOOK: #10 SPLIT RING: #2 ACTION

Field Notes

This is a lipless minnow-style bait designed to imitate wakasagi/smelt and trigger panic strikes. Use the floating model for dead-sticking, drifting, and surface disturbance, then add rod twitches to make it dart and skate; the sinking model can be worked just under the surface with erratic dirt action. It is especially useful when bass are keyed on baitfish and you want a subtle but reactive presentation.

Pros

  • I-shaped action with a panic darting response
  • Floating and sinking models cover different presentations
  • Good casting performance for its size

Cons

  • Small profile may not be ideal in very muddy water
  • Requires active rod work to unlock the best action
