A part that controls the action of the swimbait.

This is Shikanai from Galápagos!

We would like to introduce you to the swimbait joint pad that will be released soon.

It's such a small product...

This is a tuning item that can greatly change the action of your lure, making it a must-have for big bait users.

What happens when you stick it on?

For example, with the Grace240F...by attaching a pad and narrowing the range of motion, the S-curve becomes wider.

If you want to widen the action while still maintaining quickness, you can stick 1mm on the front and back like this.

The action is larger, but quick movements are somewhat limited, so try using different thicknesses depending on the situation.

We offer three thicknesses to accommodate a variety of lures and situations.

If you use a big bait with a lip, the head swing range will be reduced, resulting in a high-pitch action with a stronger tendency to roll.

For example, in the dead slow game in midwinter, this is a tuning that I often do when I want to approach fish that don't like artificial actions.

How do I use it?

It's easy to use.

Simply peel it off the sheet and stick it to the area that comes into contact with the body.

Before you stick it on, here's a little trick.

This is my favorite.

This is a familiar sight to anyone who likes tinkering with cars.

Spray a little onto the cloth and wipe the area where the plug will be attached.

If you degrease with this when applying lead stickers, eye stickers, or plug marker stickers, the adhesive strength will increase dramatically.

Once you've degreased and wiped it off, it's time to stick it on.

Check the joints and...

It sticks perfectly.

The pads are 5mm in diameter, so it is quite a delicate job and it is easier to use tweezers.

Search with a big action, and when you find the fish, immediately peel off the pad and attack with a quick turn.

I want to increase the slide width when jerking...

Please try using it in such situations.

Now that the choice of lures is narrowing, the versatility of one lure is required...

This is a small but powerful tuning item that expands the possibilities of lures.
