Description

The Engine Like 3in is a 3-inch realistic-style soft bait developed with pro angler Kazuto Hanyu, drawing on his years guiding at Chiba's Kameyama Dam. It is FECO-certified and supplied five to a pack.

It's built for the surface twitch ('pikupiku') technique that Hanyu's Kameyama guiding is known for, and also covers boil-hitting, midst and downshot presentations. Engine recommends a Superior M-II #8 hook for the twitch retrieve.

Information

The swimming action

Built for the surface twitch ('pikupiku') technique, this Like size gives a fine, realistic shimmy on a twitched retrieve rather than a strong swimming kick, keeping the presentation natural and subtle. That kind of natural, believable movement gives line-shy bass on pressured water extra time to look the bait over and commit before it swims or falls past them.

When to throw it

Suited to boil-hitting, sight fishing and situations where a subtle surface twitch draws more interest than a fast-moving topwater bait. It also holds up across a full bass season, from pre-spawn staging areas through summer cover and into the cooling water of autumn, rather than suiting one narrow window.

How to work it

Covers boil-hitting, midst and downshot presentations; work it with the light surface twitch technique it was designed around, pausing often between twitches. Vary the cadence and the length of the pause between casts until you find what is drawing bites that day, since bass response to speed can change through a session.

The setup it likes

A light to medium-light spinning rod, a 2500 reel, 6-8 lb fluorocarbon and a Superior M-II #8 hook suit the twitch retrieve this bait is built for. Round the outfit off with a smooth drag and a rod tip soft enough to load up properly before the hookset drives home on a finesse presentation.
