Bass' favorite bait fish are small smelt and shrimps. If you have eve had a bass bring up its last meal on your boat, then you may have been shocked by the small size of the bait they chase. Often they are eating bait that is a lot smaller than any lure you can throw effectively. That is where the FEINT BAIT series can give you the upper hand, and allow you to throw a high appeal, long distance, powerful lure with a visually small silhouette. KUWASE is a deep diving minnow with a tight roll. Not only does it have great action on a straight retrieve, it also responds quickly for appealing stop and go action in midwater situations. But most of all KUWASE works best when used with pump retrieves during cold water seasons, where fish typically stay away from large baits.

In 1999 NORIES released a lure called the “METER SHAD”, with a completely new colouring system. It was called “skinny colours”. The aim was to make the lure look skinnier in the water. This was done by making the top and bottom of the lure clear and only painting the sides of the lure. This was probably a world’s first in lure design. The novel concept was to attract with the vibration and sound of the lure, and entice a bite with the small silhouette. However at the time many anglers still did not understand the importance of choosing “strong” or “weak” lures, and the lure failed to make a big impact. 10 years have passed and now NORIES has taken on a new challenge. Being too weak, the lure does not attract. If they are too strong, the lure stands out too much and scares the fish away. You can attract via the lure’s vibration, and then entice a bite because of the lures small silhouette. The visual information is so important, which is why fish take the bait. The more you understand the way a bait works in different situations, the more you will be able to use it in the most effective manner. From 2009, NORIES FEINT BAIT series starts.
