K-0 WAKE MINNOW 75に「たばこ銀紙風プレート」を新規採用しました。
そのマイルドな輝きは特にハイライトの状況下で効果を発揮します。
泉和摩がハンドメイトルアーを作り始めた当初、ボディにアルミ箔を使用した仕様が釣行で光りすぎていることが気になる事がありました。「もう少し鈍い輝きにならないものか…」と思い身近にあった「たばこパッケージの銀紙」をボディに使用してみると、特にハイライト時に魚が良く釣れる経験をしました。
同じアルミ箔調ではあるが、シボが入っているため輝きがマイルド。以来、天候や状況によって使い分けをしています。
A new “cigarette foil-inspired plate” has been adopted for WAKE MINNOW 75.
Its soft, subdued flash is particularly effective under bright, high-light conditions.
When Kazuma Izumi first began making handmade lures, he noticed that the aluminum foil used on his lure bodies sometimes produced more flash than he wanted while fishing. He began wondering, “Is there a way to create a slightly more subdued shine?”
He then tried using the silver foil found inside cigarette packaging, which was readily available to him at the time. Through his fishing experience, he found that lures using this material were particularly effective at catching fish under bright, high-light conditions.
Although it has the appearance of aluminum foil, its textured surface produces a softer, more subdued flash. Since then, Izumi has selected between different foil finishes depending on the weather and fishing conditions.
WAKE Jordan 75 is an i-shaped lure that is good for both waiting and luring, and can also be used for "luring fishing", which was difficult with HMKL Jordan.
The 7.5 cm, 5.2 g size makes it ideal for long casts with spinning lures. If simply throwing and waiting does not produce a response, jerk or retrieve the lure, and it will respond agilely to the rod action, producing a loud wake and a pleasant metronome sound that will draw a reaction bite from the bass.
< HOW TO USE >
You can cast and wait as you would with Jordan, or you can use rod work to lure to targets, depending on the situation.
When placed stationary like HMKL Jordan, the fish are attracted by the shimmer of the tinsel in the tail, by walking the dog with a good splash when twitched, and by the wake and metronome sound of the powerful rolling action on a straight retrieve.
