Information

The swimming action

A lipless, jointed hardbait built around Gan Craft's S-curve swimming action, producing a wide, relaxed body twist on a straight retrieve without needing a diving lip to generate movement in the water.

When to throw it

Built for bass keyed on ayu and other mid-sized baitfish in lakes and rivers, useful as a searching bait worked over open water or along the edges of visible structure.

How to work it

A straight, steady retrieve is the standard approach to let the S-curve run naturally; slow down or pause briefly over likely holding water to give following fish a chance to commit.

The setup it likes

Needs a medium-heavy swimbait or glide rod (MH power), a round or low-profile baitcasting reel and 14-20 lb fluorocarbon or 30-50 lb braid with a matching fluorocarbon leader of similar strength.
