●Target Fish: Trout | During the development of the "Chibitoro 25F," we created seven different weight prototype samples. When we set a heavy hook and snap on the heaviest type, we confirmed that it sank slowly, even though it was supposed to be a floating setup. "This doesn't have enough buoyancy for a floating lure," I thought regretfully, but as I retrieved it slowly, I got a bite that snatched it away?! "No way?..." I thought doubting it, but I sank it slowly in the same way, and when I swam the prototype slowly at a speed where I could feel it tapping the bottom, I got a series of even stronger bites on the exact same line. When we tested this pattern in various area ponds, we found it particularly effective for targeting the bottom of ponds where there is a temperature difference between the surface and the lower layers. However, this prototype sinks too slowly, making bottom contact difficult... TKM-16-01-03 SRS-214969363476418 BC-060010 Cardiff TR-230P
