Imakatsu JAVALLON HARD 150 MAMBA S

JAVALLON HARD 150 MAMBA (ジャバロンハード150マンバ) is a hardbait reborn from Imakatsu's original Javallon swimbait, pairing the soft lure's smooth, lifelike feel with a hardbait's powerful water push and the high hook-up rate of a treble-hook setup. This S (Sinking) model is rated 2.3oz class and comes with two interchangeable elastomer tails — a 215mm Javallon Tail and a 245mm Snake Tail.

Rather than pivoting on the lip alone, the whole body drives the swimming action, stabilised by a HYDRO-FOIL SPOILER mounted under the chin — modelled on an F1 car's chin spoiler — which generates downforce to keep the lure swimming level without restricting its side-to-side motion. The joint was tightened from the previous loose-joint design for stability on ultra-fast retrieves.

A fast, shiver-action retrieve run past rock cover and paused over likely holding spots is a signature technique for the range, and the lure's hardbait power also holds up working strong current in backwaters and inlets.
