Longin Kick Beat

LONGIN’s KICKBEAT vibration lure is designed to generate strong vibration while maintaining an almost horizontal swimming posture. Unlike conventional vibration lures, it features fins on the top and bottom of the body, along with a unique silhouette that becomes taller toward the rear. The large, pronounced fins catch water strongly, allowing the lure to combine a horizontal posture with powerful water displacement. The fins also contribute to stability during flight, and together with the lure’s weight, make it easy to cast long distances. The face is finished with a slim, simple shape that omits features such as gill details.

The lineup includes the KICKBEAT 55 in 12 g and 17 g, and the KICKBEAT 70 in 15 g and 20 g. The weight can be selected according to water depth and current speed, and the official guide introduces using the 70 mm model for steady retrieves and fast retrieves, while using the 55 mm model for lift-and-fall techniques and short, twitching retrieves. If the lure does not reach the bottom, switch to a heavier weight; if it continues to make contact with the bottom, switch to a lighter weight. The basic approach is to find a setting that allows you to feel the bottom moderately. The standard hooks are #8 front and rear on the 70 mm 15 g model, #6 front and rear on the 20 g model, and #8 front and rear on both the 55 mm 12 g and 17 g models. Changing the hook size alters the lure’s posture and action, allowing the setup to be adjusted according to the intended application.
