Description
A genuinely unique design within the Bassday range, the Bubble Crank is built to run at the very surface - its drilled titanium lip and tail prop generate a steady stream of bubbles on the retrieve, layering a visual disturbance on top of the lure's mid-frequency wobble that no conventional shallow crank can replicate. Now discontinued, it remains a sought-after lure among Japanese surface and finesse anglers for the specific bubble-trail effect it produces at less than a foot of depth.
The Waka Ayu colourway depicts the young ayu (sweetfish) of early summer, caught around June and July with tender flesh and a fresh aroma, the opposite seasonal counterpart to the mature Ochiayu pattern - rendered in the brighter, more delicate tones associated with the species' youngest life stage.
