About this piece
The Deps New HySider 172 HF is a hyper-realistic crankbait / big bait designed to imitate the frantic escape motion of a Japanese dace (ugui) when chased by monster bass. Based on observations at Ikehara Dam, this ABS hollow-body lure with long, ultra-thin elastomer tail and adjustable joint angle delivers an unmatched action and catch rate proven across media.
