A bladed-jig for cover fishing with a head resembling the lip of a crankbait
1. Navigating through covers with a crankbait-like lip.
Bladed-jigs, especially those with exposed hooks, tend to be susceptible to snags in covers. Nories' answer to this challenge is a unique design: a head that mimics the lip of a crankbait. This angled head design allows it to deflect off obstacles like rocks and covers, similar to a square bill crankbait, prompting reaction strikes.
2. Drawing bass with a sharp stainless sound and a prominent silhouette.
The HulaChat is designed to attract bass both with its sound and appearance. While many bladed-jigs in the market rely on sounds from lead or tungsten heads, the HulaChat stands out by utilizing stainless metal components on its head, producing a distinct, sharp sound.
(The trimmed skirt is lifting the front skirt up.)
Moreover, its skirt is intentionally left a bit fuller when trimmed, offering a more pronounced profile that's hard for bass to miss. (Please refer to the photo.)
3. A specialized trailer for the HulaChat is included.
The HulaChat comes with a specially-developed trailer called the HulaBug, designed specifically to complement the HulaChat. Even during a slow retrieve, it maintains a horizontal posture like a baitfish, ensuring that it doesn't appear unnatural to bass, while also enhancing the overall volume of the HulaChat.
4. Tailor Your Weight for Better Catches
As of 2023, HulaChat offers four distinct weights. Starting with a base weight of 10g (3/8oz) and switching up according to conditions can lead to more fish in the boat.
If you're looking to maximize your catch, go for the 7g (1/4oz), allowing for the slowest retrieves. If you're targeting deeper than the 10g (3/8oz) range, consider the 14g (1/2oz) or 18g (5/8oz).
Notably, B.A.S.S. ELITE pro, Takumi Ito, leans towards the 18g (5/8oz) when scanning the shallows. He cranks it at top speed as a tactic to swiftly cover shallow areas.
Always choose the right weight based on your retrieve speed and the depth you're aiming for.
5. Targeting Big Bass: The "GillChat" Tune
Crafted by a top Nories staffer, renowned for landing big bass in the Kanto region in Japan, the "GillChat" modification of the HulaChat is a game changer. By combining a 14g (1/2oz) or heavier HulaChat with the Nories' Flip Gill 5”, anglers can mimic the enticing vertical movement of a jig, all with a straightforward retrieve. Among various trailers tested, the Flip Gill stood out, drawing more attention from big bass. While the bulked-up profile might seem daunting, it's more than just adding volume. Its wide design notably improves snag resistance.
The setup might take a bit more effort, but its unique silhouette could offer bass something different and tempting.
