About this piece
The Ayu Clone 180 is a soft jointed big bait designed to attract wary big bass with its natural undulating action. After extensive testing, it achieves an S-shaped swimming path by default, while the lipless design allows for controlled short-distance retrievals like digital winding and twitching. Its lifelike quick turn during jerking drives bass into a frenzy.
