KARASHI 80 brings the genre-defying performance of the 59mm original to a harder-hitting middleweight size, expanding its deadly reach to a new class of targets. Harnessing Yuki Ito’s hard won hydrodynamic expertise, KARASHI unleashes bait-busting surface action with a fast retrieve and upward rod twitches, surface dog-walking, subsurface twitch-walking, and finesse i-motion with a straight retrieve. KARASHI 80’s extended darting range and dynamic ability are decisive strike triggers for targets that track other baits but won’t commit. With the uncanny range to coax even the wariest targets from inactive to active feeding stages, the KARASHI 80 is the embodiment of a deadly new class of Japanese lure technology.

By: Patterson Leeth Every year, between the never-ending winter and the impending spring, a grey zone appears—both visually and theoretically. It’s trout season for my wife and me. I’ve found this doldrum to be an enjoyable respite from the windows and walls, and an excuse to traipse through soggy cow pastures and organic fields of […]
Poised for Precision Late fall strips away excess. As water temperatures fall and daylight shortens, smallmouth abandon inefficiency. They settle into precise places, pin to the bottom, and scrutinize everything that enters their world. Success during this window isn’t about speed or coverage—it’s about control, feel, and the discipline to slow down when instinct tells […]
The Anti-Finesse Approach As mapping accuracy improves and marine electronics continue to compress competitive advantages, bass in heavily pressured fisheries have adjusted accordingly. In the forward-facing sonar era, finesse techniques dominate much of the conversation, but their widespread adoption has also made them increasingly predictable. In that environment, separation often comes not from refinement, but […]
Showing Pressured Fish Something Different One of the biggest takeaways from forward-facing sonar isn’t just what we can see now — it’s what it’s taught us to unlearn. Late-season bass and bait don’t always follow the textbook migration we grew up hearing about. As Jacob Walker points out, shad aren’t guaranteed to push all the […]
Phil Meyer Wins Big at Lake of the Ozarks with the Sleeper Craw Phil Meyer took home $100,000 at the 2025 Big Bass Bash on Missouri’s Lake of the Ozarks — and it almost didn’t happen. If not for a hunch about location and a last-minute tip to lean on the 3-inch SLEEPER CRAW, the […]
Answering Kimura’s Call After years of relying on the 6-inch Megabass MAGDRAFT—both the pre-rigged version and the FREESTYLE—for tournament success, legendary lure designer and Elite Series veteran Kenta Kimura pressed the Megabass design team for a downsized 5-inch model. He knew there were times when bass keyed in on smaller forage, and he wanted a […]
