A Bait to Conquer the Surface with an Extremely Slow Retrieves and Wide Rolling Action

Swimming Action

1. Strong Presence Even At An Extremely Slow Retrieve, Luring Fish

Despite its long bill, the Basspino swims at an extremely shallow depth of about 8 inches. This enables the bait to swim near the surface with a large rolling action even with an extremely slow retrieve, exerting a tremendous drawing power. Even in the harsh conditions of winter field testing, it succeeded in luring bass up near the surface with an extremely slow retrieve. By using it according to the conditions, you can maximize the potential of the Basspino.

2. Because it can draw attention even at an extremely slow retrieves, it allows for more diverse techniques.

The rear of the Basspino's body features protrusions called "slash ladder." When an extremely slow retrieve, this part catches the water flow and supports the bait's action. No matter how slowly you work the bait, it continues to display a beautiful rolling action. Since it can handle a variety of retrieves from an extremely slow retrieve to wide-rolling, you can adapt its use to the current conditions.

3. The wide-rolling action draws in bass, effectively targeting them with powerful movements that stimulate their instincts.

What creates the Basspino's wide-rolling action is the exquisite setting of the slender, long lip and the eye position at its tip. The rear-weighted balance of the bait generates a unique action that swings widely from side to side. The powerful impact of the wide rolling action directly triggers the bass's predatory instincts, provoking strikes. Bass won't be able to resist a motion that seems as if the bait is alive.

4. The lifelike texture resembling real baitfish makes it less likely to arouse suspicion in bass.

The Basspino's body is packed with attention to detail to recreate the realistic texture of actual baitfish. The molding around the gills and the intricate dimpling on the body surface give the impression of a living fish. This lifelike bait has enough presence to ease the wariness of bass and make them recognize it as feed. Combined with its natural swimming action, bass will be tricked into thinking it's real prey.

5. Choose the Nagisa When Subtlety Is Needed

Developed as a contrasting bait to the Nagisa, also released by Jackall, the Basspino is a bait that draws extreme attention 8 inches below the surface. While it can be noticed by distant bass, pressured bass may also be wary of it. In such cases, cast the Nagisa, which perfectly eliminates unnecessary movements. Its movement is so close to that of a small fish that even bass that are wary of the Basspino can be caught in one shot.

One strategy is to first comb broad areas with the Basspino, and if a bass chases, switch to the Nagisa.
