A beautiful craw-style lipless-crankbait that represents ISSEI, defined by its signature shimmy fall and powerful water displacement.
Swimming Action
1. It shimmies on the fall, so it keeps triggering bass even after the retrieve stops
The biggest weapon in the G.C. ZARI VIB series is what it does after you stop retrieving. As it falls, the bait clearly shimmies side to side, continuing to work even when the retrieve is over.
Most lipless-crankbaits can draw fish while they are moving, but once you kill them, they simply drop and the presentation becomes much more one-dimensional. ZARI VIB is different. On the fall, it gives off a distinct rattle while rocking side to side, turning the drop itself into part of the trigger.
That reflects one of Haruhiko Murakami’s core ideas in lure design: fish often respond to an action that happens on its own, without extra rod work from the angler. ZARI VIB is built to draw bass in on the retrieve, then make them commit when it shimmies on the fall at the right moment.
2. Its strong pull and heavy resistance move serious water and draw bigger bass

The other defining trait of the G.C. ZARI VIB series is the strong sense of pull that Haruhiko Murakami insisted on from the start.
Before developing ZARI VIB, Murakami was deeply impressed by the retrieve feel of the Buzzer Beater, produced by Katsutaka Imae, founder of Imakatsu.
But he did not simply copy its shape or construction. The Buzzer Beater is front-heavy, while ZARI VIB is center-balanced, and the weight placement and overall action are clearly different. One of the most important design elements is the complex shaping around the front half of the body. That design grabs water hard and stirs it aggressively, creating the lure’s characteristically heavy retrieve feel.
According to Murakami, he cannot fully explain why, but vibration baits with that kind of heavy pull seem to produce a surprising number of big bass. In fact, ZARI VIB proved that point in the best possible way—Murakami landed his personal-best bass, a 64cm / 12.57 lb (5,700g) fish, on this very lure.
3. Murakami’s sense of beauty and obsession with detail give ZARI VIB a look no other lipless bait can match
The G.C. ZARI VIB series was not created simply to be another fish-catching lipless-crankbait.

After his unwanted split from Tsunekichi, the brand Haruhiko Murakami had built himself, he launched ISSEI as a fresh start. At the center of that new beginning was the crawfish motif. The Green Crayfish image became one of the defining symbols of ISSEI from the early days, and ZARI VIB has always stood as one of the lures that best represents that identity. In other words, this was never just another product idea. It was part of Murakami’s answer to what his new brand should stand for.

That also reflects Murakami’s personal fascination with crustaceans. He has openly said that crawfish are among his favorite creatures in that category, and they were something he had around him from childhood—catching them, keeping them, and studying their details up close. That is why the craw-inspired look of ZARI VIB is not just surface styling. It is a form that Murakami refined through years of observation and then rebuilt as a lure through his own design sense.

Its separate clear eyes, the complex surfacing around the front section, and the multiple internal rattle chambers are all examples of that approach.

These details are not there for decoration. They tie directly into the lure’s heavy pull, water displacement, and sound dispersion. ZARI VIB is a textbook example of “Form following function”. Murakami’s sense of beauty does not stop at the surface—it is built into the lure’s performance itself.
4. Four sizes let you match conditions without giving up the core ZARI VIB concept

As of April 2026, the ZARI VIB lineup includes four sizes: Micro 40, Jr.57, 67, and 84.
That is one of the biggest strengths of the series. You can choose the size that best fits the day’s water clarity, forage size, wind, depth, and fish activity level, while still staying within the same core design concept. The signature shimmy fall and the heavy, water-moving retrieve feel remain at the heart of the series, letting you adjust with size alone without losing what makes ZARI VIB unique.
