Valkein Kuga

ValkeIN’s KuGa is a core model designed to run through the targeted layer as intended in shallow water. It pursues wide wobbling at slow speeds, stability during fast retrieves, and precise depth control. Featuring a hybrid body based on a minnow design, it supports techniques ranging from slow retrieves that entice bites to fast retrieves aimed at triggering reaction strikes. Its design helps maintain a stable posture from low to high speeds, delivering a natural, consistent swimming action.

Its practical diving depth is approximately 60 cm, making it suited to situations where you need to accurately trace the surface to mid-water range. This 36 mm, 2.1 g floating model comes standard with #0 split rings and Gyro Hook Ride #6 hooks. The basic approach is to manage the depth with a steady retrieve, while varying the retrieve speed allows you to adjust the intensity of its wide wobbling action. Within the series, you can build a depth-based rotation by combining it with the KuGa S for deeper water, the KuGa HF just beneath the surface, and the KuGa FMR when targeting reaction strikes in the mid-water range.
