This medium-deep model was developed to target cherry salmon and returning yamame trout. The crisp action achievable with rod manipulation is impressive, and even the lightness of the retrieve resistance and changes in movement are clearly transmitted to your hand through the line. The quick response with twitching is essential for cherry salmon, where reaction strikes are extremely effective, and it is possible to create the irregular action, the timing for a bite, and the posture exactly as you envision to trigger a strike from the fish. A practical weight transfer system designed for real-world fishing, pursuing the elements required in main currents: In main current fishing, pinpoint casting is surprisingly required. Anglers must consider factors not necessary in still water fishing, such as the strength and eddies of the current, which cannot be judged at a glance, and the course for making U-turns. They are constantly anticipating the course the lure will trace and unconsciously setting a precise target point when casting. Naturally, even a slight deviation from the target point can cause the lure's tracing course to deviate significantly due to the current. The "Cherry Blood" is designed with an emphasis not only on "long-distance casting performance" but also on "accuracy." The weight transfer system and body form are designed to maintain the most stable state without losing balance during flight, pursuing optimal flight posture during casting. Considering the disruption of flight balance due to magnetic weight attachment or incomplete movement during flight, the weight transfer system is deliberately simple. As a result, combined with the aerodynamic design of the rear, we have created a minnow that achieves exceptional casting distance and can be cast straight to the target point without any stress. Stability that prevents you from losing balance in the current: In cherry salmon fishing, which mainly involves fishing in flowing water, if you lose your balance in the current and jump out of the water, you won't be able to target the spots you want. The "Cherry Blood" is strong against the current and boasts absolute stability, with its excellent water gripping ability that transmits movement to your hand. Lightweight and easy to handle: Despite its stable feel, it's very light to retrieve, making it easy to create irregular actions with rod work. The trick to creating irregular actions is to move the full weight, which is locked in front, to the rear by jerking during retrieval, momentarily disrupting its balance and creating an irregular action that induces a reaction bite. Also, when line tension is applied, the full weight moves forward, immediately transitioning to a stable rolling action. Base action is rolling: The rolling action is predominantly rolling, and the quality of the movement may appear different depending on the color, but it is a highly responsive rolling action. "Diving depth in current range: MD 1~1.5m, DEEP 1.8~2.3m" Depth within the casting range. If you let it drift naturally after casting and extend the retrieval distance, it will dive a little deeper. Also, the depth is an estimate and may vary slightly depending on various conditions such as current speed, rod tip position, line thickness and type.
