I highly recommend all Lucky Craft fans to watch this video:

I found an extremely rare footage since over 10 years of Lucky Craft history. I heard about this from many people in the past, but never had I actually seen it. I was very impressed and moved by this footage. To simply explain, this is a footage taken even before Lucky Craft existed. Daiwa Co. had brought their, at that time contracted pro angler, Larry Nixon to Japan for some TV filming. By just watching, you can tell it was a very cold early spring where no one was able to catch any fish. But Larry continued to catch Bass by using the Long-Bill Minnow! After broadcasting this footage, the Long-Bill Minnow became extremely popular in Japan. Afterwards the TD Minnow was created and soon after that, Lucky Craft Co. was established along with the “Staysee” lure. And the name “Staysee” was originated by the lure technique used by Larry Nixon. In this clip, you can see he manipulates the rod tip in a very delicate manner, while carefully continuing a pumping retrieve. And this pumping retrieve – made the lure “stay” in position underwater, and the lure would pause almost as if it knows it is being watched by the Bass. And this is how the name “Staysee” (“Stay” & “See”) was created. Since then, Staysee became a lure that represents Lucky Craft Co. and is a significant existence to our company.
