Reload Weight System – Customizable Buoyancy
The exclusive Reload Weight System allows anglers to fine-tune the bait's buoyancy by adding up to four tungsten weights. This adjustability provides five distinct weight settings:
High Floating – Optimized for dog-walking and surface sliding, the flat body creates a strong slap sound and splashing action, mimicking baitfish fleeing from predators.
Floating – Covers depths of up to 30cm with S-shaped swimming and slide darts on short jerks. The lure rises to the surface when paused, enticing reaction bites.
Slow Floating – Maintains S-shaped swimming and sliding darting down to 80cm, perfect for enticing fish with ultra-high-speed retrieves followed by a slow ascent.
Sinking – Designed for mid-to-deep water fishing, providing a stable swimming posture and darting action without compromising response.
Additionally, by using 1-3 tungsten weights without plastic balls, the bait produces a rattle sound, creating a muffled noise that attracts fish with every jerk or twitch.
Body Design & Performance Enhancements

Stabilizer Fin

Hook Customization Options
The KRK165/205 features three hook eye positions, allowing anglers to adjust the setup based on conditions:
Default Setup – Optimized for mid-range swimming using 3-4 weights.
Front Hook Setup – Ideal for topwater or shallow fishing, where fish tend to strike from below. Best used with 0-2 weights.
Three-Hook Setup – Maximizes hooking efficiency, recommended when fish are actively following but hesitant to bite.
Feather Hook Option – Adding a feather hook to the tail can increase bite rates when fish are trailing but not committing.
