1. Finesse crankbaits that swim straight in a horizontal position

As one of Japan's best-selling cranks, the Evergreen WildHunch series is still available in most tackle stores, even after more than 20 years since its release. Designed by Morizo Shimizu (a former B.A.S.S. elite who also designed the Jack Hammer chatterbait with Brett Height), the Wildhunch series has a realistic appearance and weak action that mainly rolls side to side. It’s further characterized by swimming straight, even in a horizontal posture just like a baitfish. Their realistic presentation surpasses other cranks and are strong even in the toughest conditions. The Wildhunch series’s realism even allows anglers to induce reaction strikes by using a simple retrieve. Although the number of good fishing spots in Japan is limited, there are a lot of anglers, so it’s good to have the Wildhunch series that you depend on to catch Bass even in lakes with high pressure.

2. Lineup of the Wild Hunch series

Wild Haunch SR

A shallow-only crank (.5-1.0M/19”-39”), set 60 to 70 cm shallower than the original Haunch, while maintaining the movement of the original size.

Wild Haunch 8-footer

Boasting a maximum diving depth of 2.5m (8ft) while maintaining the original movement, and a body with more volume than the original gives it improved castability and bite-induced appeal.

Rattle-In Wild Haunch

A rattle is added for muddy water and strong winds that the original cannot compete with in such conditions.
