Main target fish species: Black bass
Type: Double Willow
Size: 1oz
Color: Blue Black #22
The arm shape, which aligns the line eye to the hook point in a straight line during hookup, transmits hooking power without loss, ensuring a secure catch on the upper jaw of large bass even at long distances. By eliminating the head-integrated worm keeper and adopting a trailer hold wire, the inherent rigidity of the custom-made narrow-bend spinnerbait hook is utilized to create just the right amount of flex, reducing stress on the arm.
The elasticity of the 1.0mm SUS-301 Hercules wire and the rigidity balance created by the hook's flex absorb sharp bites and prevent fish from getting away, pursuing the ideal shape. The front face, designed to receive maximum water resistance, and the sharply tapered side lines create a sharp vertical movement, resulting in a rolling action that avoids changes in water flow and irregular reactions due to the front-heavy center of gravity.
While slightly milder in characteristics than the initial model (1997-1999), the original vertical-wobble head, whose shape was meticulously selected through extensive field testing to determine the most effective for each weight, boasts a proven track record that cannot be replicated by mere concept copying. In areas affected by lake currents or in flowing waters with complex currents, it exhibits irregular reactions through a side-to-side wobble and rolling action that seems to evade changes in water flow.
The B Custom's proven track record in flowing rivers demonstrates that its unique action is more baitfish-like. The head, receiving water flow at the front face, is pushed upward by the resistance, but the spring-back characteristic of the arm causes it to thrust forward again. This continuous repetition of action, combined with the vibration of the blade, creates the B Custom's unique pitching motion and water agitation.
The trailer hold wire prevents the worm from tearing and securely fastens it without slipping. The unique hook connection, with the lower arm passing through the inside of the head, also suppresses head rattle even under heavy use. Ex. Sharp custom narrow bend hooks are used. The custom blade boasts an astonishingly quick response, instantly rising without interruption during curve falls, free falls, and transitions to retrieves, continuously appealing to bass.
The B Custom, capable of inducing bites in any condition, exhibits superior performance that is highly compatible with lift-and-fall and hang-off techniques. The front blade position setting in the double and tandem models is securely set up with fixed beads. By eliminating the pipe spacer, which can hinder vibration, a sharper vibration is achieved, along with a stable flight posture that reduces line tangling and increases casting distance.
