Kasumi Design Office Ayu Clone

Kasumi Design Office’s AYU CLONE 180 is a soft-jointed big bait developed to produce the natural vibration unique to soft materials—an action that is difficult to achieve with hard baits—through its jointed construction. Measuring 180 mm and weighing 56 g, this slow-sinking model is ready to use straight out of the package.

Its primary action is a smooth, continuous S-shaped swimming motion despite its lipless design. Depending on rod manipulation and retrieve technique, it can also be used for a tight, slow-roll retrieve that minimizes forward movement, as well as twitching. With jerking, it produces quick turns, rapidly changing direction from side to side. Rather than simply swimming it at a steady speed, anglers can vary the presentation according to the target area and the fish’s response. Taking advantage of the soft material’s supple movement and the responsiveness of its fully jointed construction, it can be worked with everything from natural swimming action to reaction-style presentations over short distances.
