“Catch the big bass that only responds to live baits.” This daredevil concept is realized with the answer from the Kaesu Factory. KOTETSU is it. A low-density, chemical wood facilitates the sweet splashing sound and lifelike pushing through water. The back hook makes its existence invisible to fish and helps chart cluttered structures in water without tangles. We eliminated all thinkable fake appearances by fashioning it with S-shape swimming and reduced rolling, while using the body size common for live bait fish. In addition, the density and falling posture are tweaked to perfection, realizing the dead slow fall with its head downward and the body swaying. The amazing sensitivity lets it swim with the slightest line tension. This natural, hard bait is as stunningly real as a “live animal with its own will,” so that it lures cunning big bass without suspicion and it leads to an instant bite just like when they attack live baits. The realistic quality of KOTETSU goes way beyond just a lifelike appearance. Rather than in a usual long cast and retrieve, you will see KOTETSU’s full power in tough middle to short ranges where you know the bass is there, yet you are unable to get a bite with other lures.
