The NAPALM, a completely new concept in soft baits, was designed in pursuit of a trump-card lure that would "get the job done" anywhere, from small waters to big lakes and from catching numbers of small bass to targeting big bass. After many years, it is now revived. Its unique cup shape catches the water, giving it a quick start that responds nimbly to even the slightest input. It also generates a forward-pushing wave that powerfully stimulates a bass's instincts, automatically producing lifelike action at every moment from splashdown until just before pickup. It also newly adopts "ATTRIX", a material blended with ingredients that trigger the feeding instinct and a proprietary scent. Beyond the visual and vibration appeal of its action, the scent stimulates the bass's feeding instinct and drives it to bite. Castability was pursued as thoroughly as action, and ribs and other decoration were deliberately eliminated from the body. The low-drag body shape combined with a high-density material delivers astonishing long-distance casting, flying like a bullet. Compact enough to be easy to use even in waters with a small average size, yet versatile enough to be highly effective on big bass under heavy pressure, this is a trump-card worm that lets anyone get bites without difficult techniques.
