DUEL NinjaGlider Big Bait tips

Tips: How to use Duel NinjaGlider – Get the Big Bass!

A pro basser called “Ninja” – Takashi Sendo provides his movie “Tsuri Ninja no BrabraTabi (Free Fishing Trip by Fishing Ninja”, that he fishes basses at lakes and rivers in Japan by Duel’s hard lures.

Now he promoted the new movie as below and he introduces “DUEL HardCore NinjaGlider 180SS” and “DUEL HardCore NinjaSwimmer 180F”.

Bass’s lures from Japanese tackle maker has such kind of huge potentials! Like Takahiro’s win at Bassmaster Classic…

The Ninja’s Big Bait Lure – Watch out how it works

The first lure he has chosen is the “Ninja Swimmer”. He firstly says, “You might feel the big bait lure is a bit tricky and hard to use, but please think it like shallow crankbait and use it for around rock wall or under the woods.”. He then says the Ninja Swimmer is a high-floating tune, so mixing of retrieving – diving + stop – floating can be the method as well.

But at the first point, he didn’t get anything even though a bass chased the lure and soft bite.

The second place – you’ll see how it works very much. He just cast at the side of wall, slow retrieving, then bang! That’s how it works.

Next lure is “NinjaGlider 180SS”. Basically, he does the same thing as NinjaSwimmer, but this lure has deeper range. As he introduces the NinjaGlider is the rip-less, slow-sinking jointed hard lure.

Unlike the other jointed S-style lure this NinjaGlider can change the action in between S-type (winding and curving like “S”) and I-type (swim straight like “I”) by changing retrieving speed, without customising.

When you retrieve faster it acts like winding wider and bigger, so that it can tempt and call basses from wider range. But as he found winding can be too big to bite for basses sometimes, you can also retrieve slowly, so the S curve will be narrower and smaller, to straight action like “I”, basses can get close to the lure and bite.

This can be your “big weapon” by having 2 styles of action in one.
