MANIC is designed under a completely new concept. Although its appearance might lead one to assume it is intended solely for amphipod baits use, its simple design ensures it adapts to any type of bait. The one-of-a-kind action, ”MANIC Move,” produces delicate ripples that deliver overwhelming power when tackling high-pressure major fishing points and when targeting exceptionally cautious trophy-class fish situations where conventional approaches no longer trigger a response. The second model, measuring 115 mm, features a 16g weight setting that provides casting performance comparable to that of a jig minnow, enabling its use in a variety of environments such as tidal flats and shallow surf areas that were previously inaccessible.

The MANIC Move isn’t just about its refined body shape—it’s the result of perfectly tuning factors like a narrowly defined specific gravity, precise buoyancy, and an optimally positioned weight. Under this delicate balance, its action is characterized by a tight roll only, in contrast to the spontaneous S-shaped curves or tail-wagging motions that water resistance typically produces. Even though the body’s micro-vibration—its subtle trembling roll—appears almost motionless at first glance, it reliably creates distinct ripple patterns even during dead-slow retrieves. As you begin your retrieve, the action springs to life, causing the lure to rise just below the surface and generate an exquisite trailing wave. The micro-vibration roll within the V-shaped ripples produces its own gentle, unique undulation, further boosting its appeal.

For long-cast performance, the body is engineered with an ultra-low resistance design by shifting the tail’s hook eye inward and tapering the tip to a sharp point—a setup that delivers casting performance far beyond what its appearance would suggest. Moreover, with rod work such as twitching or jerking, you can induce irregular actions that make the bait scramble unpredictably on the water’s surface, offering a wide variety of approaches depending on how you use it.
