The Risso is a finesse hard bait designed to respond to delicate rod work. Its true potential is unlocked by the angler's technical skill.

When you lightly pull the line and release the tension, it generates a darting action accompanied by a unique gliding momentum—a momentary, floating pause. Even when making the lure dart sharply with twitches to instantly trigger a bass, being conscious of this glide will dramatically increase your strike rate. Furthermore, on a slow retrieve, it functions as a straight-tracking "I-motion" bait, seamlessly shifting into a rolling action as you slightly increase the retrieve speed. By varying the intensity of your rod work and retrieve, you can intentionally control and switch between these actions.

The Risso is highly versatile, allowing you to match your presentation to the specific situation and available forage. It can imitate a shrimp or goby along banks and weed areas, a baitfish or dragonfly nymph around standing timber and open water, or a fallen insect under overhangs. Its short-distance darting action, which minimizes forward travel from the target spot, is especially effective around cover and tight pin-spots.

Experience the profound satisfaction of using precise rod work to get selective fish to bite, exactly as you envisioned.

BODY FORM ボディフォルム

BODY FORM ボディフォルム

At first glance, it features the silhouette of a lipless minnow, but it is primarily designed as a dart bait. We engineered it to perfect the darting action and the floating "pause" (glide) that immediately follows. It accurately imitates small baitfish, shrimp, and aquatic insects.
When manipulated with precise rod work on light tackle, this compact 60mm hard bait can sometimes outfish even soft plastics.

PLATE WEIGHT LIP プレートウェイトリップ

PLATE WEIGHT LIP プレートウェイトリップ

The plate weight equipped at the nose generates the lure's darting action and maintains its stable posture. Because it protrudes slightly downward, it effectively reduces snags by kicking the tail upward upon contact with cover. Furthermore, on a straight retrieve, it acts as a micro-lip, cutting the water sharply to initiate the bait's action.

TAIL FIN テールフィン

TAIL FIN テールフィン

The tail fin is designed to generate extended, long-gliding darts while preventing a tail-down posture.

TINSEL TAIL ティンセルテール

TINSEL TAIL ティンセルテール

The tinsel tail imitates shrimp antennae and baitfish fins, while working in synergy with the tail fin to maintain a horizontal posture. It is designed to be easily replaced even if it wears out from heavy use.
