About this piece
The Daiwa Fuku 2 is a specialized crankbait designed for hard-to-reach bass cover, building on the success of the original 'Fuku Ichi' model. Its key innovation is the 'shamoji lip' which deflects obstacles, while the rear hook is positioned ventrally to reduce snagging when the lure exits cover. Despite a compact 53mm body, it accommodates oversized hooks for hooking big bass, yet cleverly minimizes hook tangles by placing them extremely close together.
