Description

Part of Team Daiwa's original Titan Lip Evolution Bass System - the T.D. Hyper Minnow 1072Ti was built around the same titanium leaf lip philosophy as the legendary T.D. Hyper Crank, achieving superior rapid diving ability, high sensitivity, and excellent action in a realistic, compact minnow profile. The titanium lip generates a natural rolling action that is truly that of a minnow itself - and the SP specification demonstrates overwhelming power during spawning season. Like the Hyper Crank, the 2-way action system selects between Active Wide Action and Slow Tight Action by repositioning the split ring on the line tie, delivering two fundamentally different minnow presentations in a single 70mm body. This example carries the original Team Daiwa logo with the iconic pink triangle - the pre-Globeride packaging that identifies it as part of the founding era of the Titan Lip Evolution Bass System, manufactured at Daiwa Seiko's Higashikurume, Tokyo facility when Japan production was still the standard for Team Daiwa performance lures.

The Laser Ghost Wakasagi colourway applies a laser-holographic ghost finish to the wakasagi (Japanese pond smelt) - a hyper-realistic, semi-transparent baitfish rendering with extraordinary scale detailing and a vivid blue iridescent eye, presenting as a living smelt at any depth in clear water conditions.
