G.I Joint Baitlure Spec is a compact jointed bait designed for high-mobility anglers who want to fish with minimal tackle. It is a smaller version of a lip-equipped big bait that can be handled with a MH class rod. With its impact similar to a big bait, G.I. can be handled with versatile MH class tackle, expanding your fishing possibilities. It is designed to take advantage of quick opportunities in ever-changing field conditions. The main usage is the STOP&GO technique near cover such as bushes, overhangs, reed edges, and rocks, where the lure is cast and reeled in vigorously before stopping, allowing the G.I. to dive quickly and then slowly rise to entice fish hiding in cover. This method also works well in muddy streams after rain, as fish tend to gather near cover. G.I. is also skilled in crankbait fishing, with the ability to trace a range of 1.5m on a normal retrieve and the metal plate lip allowing for bottom hits. The lip's special design enables high-speed flashing near cover with minimal movement. The elastomer tail, designed with ideal hardness, functions as the second joint and contributes to the smooth action of the G.I. It absorbs and converts the body's action into a smooth wave without any sharp edges. It is important to store the lure with the included cover to prevent contact with other worms and deformation. The metal plate lip may become sharp due to bottom knocks, so care should be taken to avoid injury. Similarly, the lip's edge may damage the line, rod, and reel, so caution should be exercised during transportation and storage. It is recommended to attach the line directly to the default parts set on the line eye to avoid possible damage. The metal plate lip is crucial for achieving the high-pitched swimming action of the voluminous G.I. body. It also plays a role in the quick diving near cover, which is a significant feature of G.I. compared to conventional lures. Unlike one-piece molded lips, it is also more resistant to impact, eliminating the risk of lip damage from casting errors. The specially designed elastomer tail with a distinct curvature functions as another joint and creates a flexible and seductive swimming action. Available in various colors such as Shikkoku, Shimanshi Tiger, Pink Trick, Lemon Power, Pearl Shad, Black BB, Chi Gill, Frogman, Real Kinkuro, Clown, and Pearly Chart.
