The KAESU KUNAI is a versatile metal vibration lure engineered to excel in challenging fishing conditions. Its innovative design enables a range of actions previously unattainable with traditional metal vibration lures.
Key Features:
- Weight Options: 1/8 oz, 1/4 oz, 3/8 oz, 1/2 oz
- Hook Sizes: #12 for 1/8 oz; #8 for 1/4 oz; #6 for 3/8 oz and 1/2 oz
- Color Variations: 9 distinct colors
Innovative Design:
The KUNAI features a flat-surfaced line eye placement that efficiently captures water, converting it into high-response action. This design facilitates powerful vibrations during retrieves or jerks and enables a subtle, trembling shimmy fall during a curved descent. Additionally, executing short, vertical jerks with the rod prompts sharp, side-to-side darting movements, mimicking the erratic behavior of fleeing baitfish or shrimp. These dynamic actions trigger both reaction strikes and feeding responses from bass.
Body Construction:
Constructed with a 0.4 mm thick stainless steel plate and a forward-weighted head, the KUNAI offers exceptional responsiveness to minimal rod movements and ensures impressive casting distance. Its unique eye position generates strong vibrations and water displacement, allowing the lure to appeal to fish across a wide area. The design also provides clear feedback to the angler, enhancing precise rod control. This thoughtful engineering enables the KUNAI to perform high-pitch vibrations, slide darts, and shimmy falls, setting it apart from conventional metal vibration lures.
Plate and Hook Configuration:
The elongated slot at the snap connection point stabilizes the lure's flight posture during casting by aligning the line angle with the plate, reducing rotation and improving casting performance while minimizing line tangling. Additionally, the plate's edges are crimped to significantly enhance resistance to bending. The swimming posture, with the plate leading, helps conceal the hooks, reducing snagging in weedy areas and increasing strike opportunities. Upon a bite, the lure often flips, causing the hook points to face upward, a design that balances reduced snagging with a high hooking rate.
Hide & Seek Color Scheme:
Certain KUNAI models feature the "Hide & Seek" color pattern, where the underside is painted to blend with the bottom substrate. This camouflage effect makes the lure less visible upon landing, then suddenly flashes into view during movement, effectively triggering reaction strikes from predatory fish.
The KAESU KUNAI's multifaceted action capabilities and refined design make it a valuable tool for anglers aiming to navigate tough fishing scenarios across various seasons and environments.
