About this piece
The Onimaru is a metal vibration lure engineered through the study of marine fish behavior and empirical testing, resulting in a specialized balance setting. Its horizontal swimming posture mimics the silhouette of fleeing baitfish, maintaining a constant roll axis at any retrieval speed and generating a lifelike high-pitch vibration that triggers the predatory instincts of fish eaters. The front eye is swiveled to improve tracking during fights and reduce throw-offs, while the line-eye position, hook position, body shape, and weight balance are optimized to minimize tangling.
Key features
- Special balance setting derived from behavioral research on ocean fish
- Horizontal swimming posture with constant roll axis for realistic vibration
- Swiveled front eye for reduced throw-offs and improved fight tracking
- Optimized design to minimize hook tangling with line and body
- Medium-heavy weight (30g) enables casting and a fast sink rate
Best for
- Seabass (Suzuki) and other saltwater predators
- Yellowtail and bluefish (Aomono)
- Flatfish (such as flounder) and black seabream (Kurodai)
- Searching large areas with a high-action vibration retrieve
