SHIMANO ZT-119Q Bantam BT Force #001 Ghost Ayu

The surface hot new big bait is finally on the battlefield.

The first big bait "Bt Force" in the bantam series created to deceive the bass. The concept is to camouflage the back of the lure with bubbles and splash in the first retrieve by forcibly moving the hard tail, which is difficult to swim balance, with a wide lip.
The bass, which is completely excited by the intimidating strong waves and bass rattle, will bite flashy without knowing that it is a lure. The game is fast, and if it comes out, it will be big ... It is a surface type big bait with a high degree of perfection.

What is the structure of each part that makes full use of the high technology?

"Bt Force" is a unique work with a two-piece joint structure and a soft material shad tail. The total length is 190 mm and the weight is 50 grams.

The sharply cut eye's eyes have the letters "Bt" meaning Bantam. You can see that the square building is set almost perpendicular to the body.

Wide lip that produces intense body rolls and strong vibrations.

Octagon core called by deep bass sound : 

The weight of the octagonal prism is built in the front body slightly closer to the joint.

The wide lip receives water and the body produces a violent roll from side to side. Utilizing the movement of the roll, the built-in octagon roll weight rolls and contacts the inner wall to generate a complicated sound. ".

"Each apex of the octagon touches the inner wall with a time lag, producing a multi-tone but deep bass sound . It's similar to a frog's bark."

Is the sound rumbling. Rather than the luster that invites appetite, it is a jarring sound that threatens the bass.

With this widespread reverberation, the bass attacks to eliminate strangers invading the territory.

Joint part that controls another sound element : 

Speaking of big bait, it is a large lure that generates waves by flexibly moving the body on the head side and the body on the tail side alternately just by winding it. Above all, you know that its strong impact is intriguing to the bass. The key to the structure is the joint that connects the front and back. The sound generated by the contact of each piece during action is an appealing point that exists in every big bait, but Bt force does not stop there. Here again, it builds a unique structure unlike any other.

The front and rear body pieces are connected by two high-strength eight cans. The pillars that support them are the front and rear pillars.

With a structure called single connect , pillars that are almost the same length as the body height and have a thick shaft support the eight can, and the actions on the head side and tail side are fused.

The joint that connects the front and rear bodies is connected by two eight cans. It's obvious that it creates flexible movements, but it's not the only task.

The contact between the cans produces a tiny but jarring sound, especially during slow retrieves and dead sticking.

This is the trigger for feeding. The gimmick that can be called the ultimate weapon is hidden here. Of course, it goes without saying that the minute metallic sound that sounds irregularly even when winding turns on the bass.

Overwhelming splashes promoted by the unique tail : 

In addition to the two-piece joint body, one of the major features of Bt Force is that it has a soft tail.

In addition to the violent movement of the two-piece body, there is no doubt that the overwhelming water push and splash that this tail attracts the bass from a wide range.

And there is something important to know. Bt Force is not a big bait that can be used immediately after purchase. The two-piece joint body and mast tail are included in the package, but you have to install them yourself.

How to assemble Bt Force

The Bt Force package includes the body and two tails in a blister pack. First of all, by combining these, the fishing plan of Bt Force begins. Below, let's complete it step by step.

1: There are two stainless steel pins in the pouch attached to the back of the blister pack. Be careful not to lose it as it is a small part.

2: Check each of the two holes on the left and right of the tail of the main unit. The hole on the right side is large when viewed from the front, and the hole on the left side is small.

3: Take out one tail from the pack. There is a slide-in groove at the base of the main body and tail, so it can be easily attached. Moistening each will make it smoother.

4: After mounting, push in each of the two stainless steel pins through the large hole on the right side of the body. It is convenient to have pliers.

With this, the Bt Force is finally completed.
