Jointed Big Crawler - versatile and variable speed: 4-jointed big crawler bait
Concept & Action:
The TOUDA is a big crawler bait designed for flexible body action through its 4-piece jointed body.
It enables a versatile approach unique to a segmented lure: deep under overhangs or along shorelines, you can entice fish persistently with twisting head shakes that minimize travel distance before switching to a crawl action. Alternatively, you can trigger bites using the changing silhouette caused by inertia during dead sticking or pauses after crawling.
Furthermore, its wide range of retrieve speeds - from high speed to dead slow - allows for various crawl actions. It can go from a noisy, high-speed sprint across the surface to a dead slow, slight writhing motion. It handles choppy water and wide-area searching (often weak points for mid-to-low speed crawler baits) with sufficient presence and usability. Additionally, the slender, flexible long body contributes to increased catch rates due to high hooking performance that prevents fish from coming unhooked.
Resolving many of the issues that have plagued crawler baits until now, the TOUDA is a game-changer that answers the demands of many anglers.

4 Piece Joint Body:
During the crawl, the 4-part connected body twists its entire length; during twitches, it reacts with a writhing head shake. Combined with the resistance of the wings, it keeps travel distance to a minimum, mimicking the struggles of a dying baitfish. Even when stationary, the body reacts to wind and water currents, changing its silhouette to trigger bites during dead sticking or pauses. While it is a crawler bait, it allows for pin-point targeting, enabling you to conquer various situations where a simple retrieve crawl wouldn't result in a bite.
Stainless Wings:
Balancing strength and response, the 0.3mm thick stainless steel wings achieve a quick startup and a light, responsive feel while resisting deformation.
Original Wing Mount:
Realized through material selection that ensures strength against deformation and precise bending processing, the original wing mount parts are meticulously designed. They allow for the optimal setting to achieve a wide range of retrieve speeds, from high to low, while preventing unintended changes in action.
Rolling Hook Eye:
The swivelled hook eyes allow the hooks to rotate, which prevents the fish from using the heavy lure as leverage to pry the hook loose, significantly reducing the chance of losing fish during a fight. This feature creates a synergistic effect with the high hooking performance of the slender long form and the jointed body that disperses load during a fight. It achieves both a high hook-up rate and a reduction in lost fish.
