Fourteen years after the birth of Ashura, and with RUDRA celebrating its tenth anniversary in 2015, years of extensive use of both jerkbaits reinforced the need for an intermediate size of 11cm.
Lure selection becomes increasingly critical each year depending on the field type and situation, and making the wrong choice will result in poor catches. Even the 9cm class, which is effective in tough conditions, can sometimes lack appeal. The 13cm class, effective for big bass, can sometimes fail to get bites due to pressure. It is difficult to find the perfect fit for every fishing trip with just these two sizes. Therefore, development began to fill that gap.
To aim for the No. 1 in the 11cm class with a slim body shape that brings out the best of jerkbaits, it was necessary to refine all aspects of its performance. The traditional full-flat body provides flashing and strong water displacement, which will surely double the number of bites. The small-diameter triple tungsten weight transfer system extends the weight to near the tail, achieving accuracy and long-cast performance through a stable flight posture. This contributes to its unique sound and low center of gravity, and combined with the lightweight yet strong honeycomb super HP body, it achieves high responsiveness, excellent stopping and going action, and top-notch bite-inducing power even with straight retrieves.
It exhibits distinctive performance, diving to a maximum depth of 2.1m from the surface with a simple retrieve, and up to 2.8m with continuous jerks after a simple retrieve.
Furthermore, it suppresses the typical fluttering at high retrieve speeds, making it a powerful weapon for enticing bites at all speeds. With twitches and jerks, it can easily produce sharp head movements with little force, reducing the pressure on the fish, limiting the distance traveled, and giving you time to attract even slow-moving bass from a wide area during cold water conditions.
VARUNA is the strongest 11cm minnow, with all its performance aspects brought to the highest level.
