KAESU KRK205
KAESU KRK205
High-response big bait for all ranges
Concept & Action:
The KRK205 is a game-changing big bait that transforms technical swimbait fishing into an intuitive and exciting experience. By combining a lightweight body - which eliminates the need for specialized "extra-heavy" tackle - with the innovative Reload Weight System, the KRK allows you to master every depth of the water column with absolute precision.
Whether it’s an explosive topwater session with sharp slides and dog-walking, or a deep-range approach featuring S-curve swimming and high-speed stop-and-go retrieves, the KRK responds instantly to every rod twitch. Its flat-sided body provides unwavering stability and high-flash appeal, ensuring it remains effective even in tough conditions. Designed for both big bait veterans and newcomers alike, the KRK delivers a fatigue-free, versatile performance that proves exactly why big baits are a staple in modern trophy fishing.

Reload Weight System:
An internal weight-tuning system that allows for the installation of 0 to 4 tungsten weights. This unique feature provides 5 levels of buoyancy adjustment, ranging from High-Float (surface) to Sinking (deep), allowing the KRK to adapt to any field condition or target depth. The following buoyancy settings are available:
- High Floating (Surface)(4 float balls): Specialized for dog-walking and sliding. The flat body produces a "slap action," creating spray and sound that mimics a panicked baitfish.
- High Floating (Diving)(1 tungsten & 3 float balls): Adds a diving element to the dog-walk and skating action, imitating large baitfish pecking at the surface before submerging.
- Floating (0–30cm)(2 tungsten & 2 float balls): Perfect for S-curve swimming and short-jerk slide darts. The rising action upon stopping often triggers explosive reaction bites. Also capable of waking with a strong surface wake on a steady retrieve.
- Slow Floating (Max 80cm)(3 tungsten & 1 float balls): Ideal for combining S-curve swimming with continuous darting and ultra-high-speed retrieves.
- Sinking (Middle to Deep)(4 tungsten balls): The heaviest setting, prioritizing stable swimming and a "bite-sized" darting action in deeper water. High response remains intact even at depth.
- Rattle Sound Setting: By utilizing 1 to 3 tungsten balls without the plastic balls, the weights roll freely inside the chamber. This generates a muffled, thumping rattle during jerks and twitches to entice distant fish.
Flat Body Design:
The lightweight, flat-sided body ensures a massive visual presence (silhouette) without the physical strain of traditional heavy big baits. This fatigue-free operation allows anglers to maintain focus all day. The wide flat surfaces produce intense flashing and strong water displacement both on the surface and sub-surface.
Stabilizer & Vertical Fins:
- Stabilizer Fin: Prevents the head from diving too deep, maintaining a "head-up" posture and significantly reducing line tangles during aggressive jerking.
- Vertical Fin: Suppresses excessive rolling to stabilize the swim, giving the darting action more "snap" and distance.
Customizable Hook Settings:
Features three hook eyes to adapt to the bite style:
- Standard (Middle Range): Default setting, optimized for swimming with 3-4 weights.
- 2-Hook Front Set (Topwater/Shallow): Highly effective when fish are attacking from below. Optimized for 0-2 weights.
- 3-Hook Max Set: Maximizes hook-up ratios. Tip: Adjust hook sizes to maintain desired action balance.
- Tail Feather Option: Adding a feather hook to the rear is effective when fish are chasing but hesitant to commit.
