Subtle and Tricky Action Jigging Spoon for Targeting Inactive Bass on the Bottom

1. Wobbly slide fall irregularly attracts tough-biting bass

The Metal Wasaby Hammered is a jigging spoon designed to target bass that are difficult to catch with other lures in deep areas or during cold-water periods.

The basic technique is lift and drop on the bottom. Its unique shape balance creates a distinctive wobbling and slide drop action, which occur simultaneously when you let slack in your line during the drop. Moreover, this dropping action is triggered irregularly, making it a key move to provoke a reaction from even the toughest bass.

2. Hammered body produces a subtle flashing that doesn't spook bass

The body features a special treatment called "Hammered tone." Countless tiny dents prevent the metal from being overly flashy, delivering a restrained flashing effect. This allows the lure to attract bass without alarming them.

3. Compact yet heavy, offering excellent operability

Despite its compact body, it has a surprising heft that not only provides great castability to reach your target spot but also excellent operability, letting you easily sense the bait's status on the bottom.

According to Takumi Ito, a pro angler on the B.A.S.S. Elite Series, the moderate weight allows you to shake the bait free if it gets snagged on cover.

Ito also comments that when the bait knocks on the bottom after lift and drop, the tapping sound captures the bass's interest. He recommends varying the loudness of the sound by leveraging the Metal Wasaby Hammered's weight. Be sure to keep this in mind.
