KARASHI 80 - 80mm Slow-Sinking Japanese Fishing Lure (7/16oz)
Length: 80mm
Weight: 7/16oz
Type: Slow-Sinking
The KARASHI 80 elevates the legendary performance of the original 59mm model into a harder-hitting, middleweight finesse bait built to target bigger, more cautious predators. Designed with advanced hydrodynamic precision by renowned lure designer Yuki Ito, the KARASHI 80 delivers unmatched versatility across surface and subsurface presentations.
Engineered to trigger strikes from pressured fish that track other lures but refuse to commit, this 80mm slow-sinking lure features an extended darting range and ultra-responsive action. Whether worked aggressively on top or finessed below the surface, KARASHI 80 provokes reaction bites and converts hesitant followers into committed strikers.

Action Types & Retrieve Techniques
I-Motion (Finesse Retrieve)
Use a super-slow, steady retrieve just fast enough to maintain your target depth. The subtle wobbling action mimics injured baitfish, triggering instinctive strikes from opportunistic predators.
Twitching (Subsurface Darting)
Add sharp rod twitches during retrieve to send the KARASHI 80 darting erratically below the surface. This agile side-to-side action is highly effective for generating reaction bites from following fish.
Dog-Walk (Topwater Walking Action)
Apply rhythmic twitches on the surface to create a smooth, irresistible walk-the-dog presentation. Pause intermittently to allow the lure to slow-sink, then twitch it back to the surface like a fleeing baitfish.
Bait-Busting (Aggressive Surface Strike Mode)
Combine fast upward rod snaps with a quick retrieve to make the KARASHI 80 splash, walk, and leap across the surface. This high-energy action imitates panicked baitfish and triggers explosive topwater strikes.
Target Species
Perfect for:
Largemouth bass
Smallmouth bass
Spotted bass
Other predatory freshwater species
