Information

The swimming action

The balsa-wood body gives a lively, tight swimming wobble and a stable, controlled fall on the drop, so the lure keeps working attractively all the way down as well as on the retrieve.

When to throw it

A go-to searching lure across light game through to larger seabass and bass, useful whenever fish are holding away from the surface and a specific depth needs to be found and repeated.

How to work it

Count the lure down to the depth you want to fish, then retrieve steadily or with light twitches; because the sink rate is consistent, the same count reaches the same depth on every cast.

The setup it likes

A light spinning rod (L, 6'6"–7'6") with a 2000 reel, 4–8lb line and a light fluorocarbon leader suits this size.

Straight answers

How is it priced?

We give you the cheapest available price, as we get it directly from the distributors. You pay what an angler in Japan pays, plus postage.

When does my order leave Japan?

How long does delivery take?

Australia and the US: 7 to 14 business days on Standard or Economy, 2 to 7 on Express EMS. Europe and the UK: 10 to 20 business days, 3 to 7 on EMS. Every option is priced at checkout before you pay.

Will I be charged import duty or tax?

Australia: no duty on orders under A$1,000 and GST is already in the price. US: orders under US$800 clear duty-free. EU and UK: VAT is collected at checkout so nothing is due on delivery for standard orders.
