About this piece
The Kibipani MR is a compact floating crankbait with a sharp, high-pitch wobbling action, designed to provoke strikes from wary area trout. Its 28mm body dives to about 1.5 meters, and rod angle control allows precise depth adjustment. Supervised by field expert Hajime Endo, it combines mid-range attraction with bottom-knock panic action inherited from the Panicra series.
