Responsive Walking-Action Soft Bait for Swimbait Specialists

1. Enhancing Lifelike Movement in Soft Baits Bringing Swimbait Walk the Dog to Life

With the introduction of DRT's Tiny Clash, specialized in walk the dog technique, the genre of swimbaits focused on the walk the dog action was established, leading to the creation of various walking-type swimbaits, including the swaying-type ones like JACKALL's Blastbone.
Until then, the mainstream use of swimbaits was simply casting and retrieving straight, without targeting specific points. However, the emergence of swimbaits specialized in the walk the dog technique has made it possible to approach bass hiding behind covers with a larger size than walking baits, while minimizing the moving distance.
And furthering the concept, MEGABASS introduced the walk the dog technique specialized soft bait, the AYU TWITCHER.

The MAGDRAFT series by MEGABASS, known for its seamless, joint-free soft baits, has become popular among B.A.S.S Elite pros.

The AYU TWITCHER innovates by incorporating a slit in its belly, dividing it into two blocks: the front and the tail. When retrieved, it swims in an glide movement, with the rear bending and following like a train, creating the illusion of a live fish. Additionally, when twitched, the slit serves as a pivot for the lure to swivel, allowing it to respond agilely to rod technique, enabling precise movements.

The durability is also not an issue

Although the presence of a slit in a soft bait may raise concerns about its durability, there's no need to worry about it tearing, thanks to the fabric embedded within the joint. This attention to detail, addressing anglers' concerns one by one, is a fine art mastered by MEGABASS.

2. Designed to Perform in Tough Conditions

Lifelike Dog-Walk Action

The action during dog-walk varies between hard and soft baits, necessitating selection based on the bass's condition. Hard baits like Tinyklash or Blastbone create a sharp angle when curving, resulting in a more distinct water displacement that effectively draws fish at a distance. On the other hand, the soft bait AYU TWITCHER cuts through the water more softly, allowing for a slower, more controlled movement that can deceive even clever bass by minimizing travel distance while still providing an enticing action.

Furthermore, it responds agilely to precise rod technique, allowing anglers to maneuver it left and right at will, even in still water areas where a delicate approach to bass is required, using the AYU TWITCHER. The splash it makes upon hitting the water, a detail fine-tuned by Mr. Ito, produces a perfect "plop" sound, which can pique bass's interest and lead to a bite within two to three walks.

Minimized Hook Visibility for a Natural Presentation

MEGABASS's unique Maghold System conceals the hook within a slit in the body, further secured by an internal magnet. This design minimizes the hook's visibility, reducing the risk of bass becoming wary, and also plays a key role in decreasing snags when casting into cover.

3. Variable Retrieve Actions with Speed

Consistent Action Quality Regardless of Speed

A hallmark of the MAGDRAFT series is its ability to swim accurately regardless of the retrieve speed. While swimbaits are often associated with dead-slow retrieves, lack of speed can lead to the bait being ignored or resulting in tentative bites. The AYU TWITCHER is designed to perform across a range from slow to fast retrieves, allowing for consistent action from the moment it hits the water until the retrieve is completed without the action falling apart or the bait rising to the surface, which is a significant advantage.

- Dead-slow retrieve = Sticking action:
Naturally sways side to side.

- Slow to medium retrieve = Slalom swimming:
Swims while tracing a trajectory with a glide movement.

- Fast retrieve = Panic escape action:
Mimics the frantic escape of an ayu, offering more flexible movement compared to hard plugs.

Adjust to the appropriate range with a nail weight

The AYU TWITCHER features an internal tank for floating at the front, creating a natural body flex due to the buoyancy difference between the front and the back. However, there might be times when you wish it to sink a bit more. In situations such as early spring, when bass haven't risen much, please adjust buoyancy to make it sinking by using a nail weight.

4. Differentiating Use from Other Swivel-Head Specialized Joint Baits

Hard bait

Hard baits are considered to have a higher appeal to bass due to their stronger water displacement, while the soft bait AYU TWITCHER moves water more softly, offering a more natural presentation. For bass that are wary, trying to entice them with the AYU TWITCHER, or selecting hard baits for bass that are actively interested in surface water fish, could be effective strategies. If in doubt, starting with the AYU TWITCHER and then switching to hard baits if you feel the appeal isn't enough can also be a viable rotation strategy.

Soft bait

If targeting dense cover prone to snagging, it's recommended to use the Bounty Fish. With its offset hook, it presents a lower risk of snagging compared to the treble-hooked AYU TWITCHER. Known for its ease of skipping, it allows for precise casts deep into the heart of cover, reaching spots you aim for with less risk.
