Lastly, I’ve created an ‘A’ Rig with a mix of both Opti Shad and Victory Tail.  http://youtu.be/Yt6NaOvXI7Y

This time I’ve created an ‘A” Rig with the Victory Tail. This smooth movement is amazing.  http://youtu.be/O22zwcPKljI

Next is the Victory Tail. http://youtu.be/eaDiffOKNMQ
This vibrating V-shaped tail is great when falling.  It is good for retrieving with jig heads, or simply moving it left to right and/or wiggling it will create an exquisite action.

I’ve created the currently popular A Rig with our new “Opti Shad” soft lure. The swimming video clip is great!! http://youtu.be/ZuUv6atjm1k

The A Rig actually hurts Bass so I prefer not to use it so much, but times when I don’t get much bites, I can’t help but to use it. I hope everybody will try using it in different ways also.

Finally!! Our new item this year, the Opti Shad will be released!! It’s been 3 years since Lucky Craft has officially started developing its very own soft lure line. And finally this year our very first one will be released. It is called the “Opti Shad” in meaning of “the greatest shad”. We’ve created a swimming video as well so please check it out!!

I want to talk a little bit about our new lure SV58 & SV68 which is scheduled to be released sometime this year. The “SV” is an abbreviation of “Saltwater Vibration”. Yes, this is in fact specially made vibration lure for Saltwater fishing. The significance of this vibrating lure is that it is created to make – the currently very popular in America – the shimmy fall action and it includes the high-density tungsten for extra sinking capability specifically for saltwater. It will be very effective for man-made areas also. Please look very closely to the stomach and the bottom area. So that the metal parts won’t bend and/or brake after hitting hard concretes, those areas are created in plastic. The Valid, a vibrating lure for Sea Bass is one of the most popular lure even in Japan from its great use of horizontal fishing almost like a minnow. Oppose to that, the SV has a shimmy fall action with very effective usage for vertical fishing. I hope everyone can try out both Valid and the new SV and check out the difference!

This is our floating shallow Pointer which is great for Pike & Musky fishing around the Great Lakes of America. It is also very effective for Mediterranean Sea Bass fishing. The key points to this lure are: It has the capability of making long strokes while it swims through an undertow in its correct posture. It also has a body shape made easier for fish eaters that are hard to catch with Crankbaits to bite on. This is scheduled to be released sometime this summer!!

The Trout season has started and a lot of Amago & Yamame (Seema) are being fished in Europe & Japan. The Flash Minnow 65Tr. is a popular lure for Trout fishing in Japan, but in France it is the Humpback Minnow. And we even powered up on the color selections: http://www.luckycraftlure.com/NRGLure/Humpback.htm. Personally I like the “Clear Blue Iwana” color. The NC Bora is pretty good in the evening.

Brent is passionately talking about the Gunfish. Please check it out!!

I was on a real busy business trip to Switzerland and France last week and I came back to LA for just one day. And now, I’m in a secret manufacture in Japan for some lure development. In this picture shows some colors that I created which might be good for Northern Territory Pike and Musky.
