About this piece
The Deps New Highsider is a jointed big crankbait designed to realistically imitate the flight of a Japanese dace (ugui) being chased by monster bass. Developed from observations at Lake Ikeda, this lure combines a hollow ABS body with extra-long thin elastomer tails to reproduce the tail beat and pitch of the prey fish.
