Killer Bill excels in maintaining shallow ranges and offers a smooth retrieval experience.

1. Killer Bill Series Shallow Runner: Charmed by its Lively Jointed Body and Soft Tail

(Left: Super Killer Bill, Right: Wind Killer Bill)

Killer Bill, a standout in the series, maintains its signature features of a jointed body and soft tail, enhancing both darting performance and lifelike movement. Equipped with the Wind Bill, a uniquely smaller and curved bill, it efficiently converts diving force into lateral wobbling, allowing it to consistently stay within the 3.3 to 4.9 ft shallow range. This Wind Bill design also produces sharper darting actions than the original, ideal for twitching techniques with strategic pauses. Its distinctively angled lip effectively catches water, ensuring stirring action even at slow retrieves, thereby offering unparalleled appeal to bass among its series.

In the series, the Wind feature is exclusive to the straight pin tail design. By making the tail fin thinner and smaller, it reduces air resistance, achieving superior casting distance.

2. Retrieve that Mimics the Movement of a minnow

Make sure to try out the "TAKATAKI Retrieval," a technique that takes full advantage of the shallow range-keeping ability. This method involves keeping the lure just below the water's surface with a steady retrieval, perfectly mimicking the movement of a weakened minnow swimming straight near the surface. The term "TAKATAKI" originates from Lake Takataki in Chiba Prefecture, Japan, known for its minnow population, where bass actively hunt smelt minnow swimming carefreely near the surface. This popular fishing spot is often crowded, leading to bass becoming wary of the noise from line movements during twitching and jerking. Thus, a steady retrieval without extra noise can be more effective in these conditions. On the other hand, the Wind Killer Bill excels even in ultra-fast retrieves. Thanks to its Wind Lip, it faces greater water resistance, causing the body to wobble significantly and delivering a satisfying vibration to the angler’s hand, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable retrieval.
