About this piece
The Gamakatsu AviC 7" is an injection-molded hard bait that swims just below the surface, targeting the critical shallow zone that triggers aggressive strikes. Designed by Takuma Akamatsu, it incorporates a hand-made lure's subtle wobbling action into a mass-produced form, using an intentionally unbalanced weight placement relative to the lip angle to create a controlled, water-grabbing wobble without disrupting the bait's tracking.
