About this piece
The OSP Romance is a noisy surface crawler bait engineered for high-footage environments like canals, drainage channels, and bulkheads, maintaining a consistent action right to the angler's feet. Developed in collaboration with OSP pro staff Tomoya Kitada, it delivers the torque of a heavy-wing bait with a surprisingly light winding feel, enabling a wide, high-pitch crawl. At 1.5 oz class weight, it starts swimming immediately upon landing. The bait includes a replaceable dead-slow wing for cold-water or pressured-fish scenarios, transforming the action entirely. Romance ensures the bait never stops swimming until fully retrieved, maximizing topwater enjoyment.
