SHIMANO ZH-211P Bantam Loud Knocker #003 Ghost Ayu

2 Knock Rattle High Appeal Pencil Bait

An easy-to-use basic pencil bait, but with a focus on operability, sound, and flying, the "Loud Knocker". The name comes from the high 2 knocker rattle where metal balls collide with each other in the front and back. In the movement of the center of gravity where all rattles move during casting, the iron ball at the front is fixed to the front wall with a magnet when it lands, and the large stainless steel ball in the center can roll back and forth. The lower jaw splash cup creates a bubble-biting sound during the action, accentuating the slide action. Since it is a little floating, it can be used not only for sliding but also for diving.

Magnet center of gravity movement 2 knock rattle that achieves both long-distance casting performance and sound effect

Loud Knocker - pencil bait that means knocking with a violent sound. The greatest feature that is the origin of this is hidden in its unique internal structure. You can hear the sound of something moving inside and interfering with the inner wall. This is the structure of " Magnet center of gravity movement 2 knock rattle ".

It's a gimmick that has both long-distance casting performance and sound appeal.

There are three high-hardness weight balls inside the tail side. One is fixed at the end. By carrying the two floating types to the rear end during casting, the center of gravity is more concentrated in the direction of travel, and the flight distance has been significantly extended. As soon as the water lands far away, the front side of the floating weight is fixed with a magnet. The weight in the middle, which is sandwiched between the weights fixed in the front and back, moves back and forth each time it takes action, and when it comes in contact with it, it makes a dry metallic knocking sound to appeal.

By taking one action with "Chung", the weight hits the front, then goes back and hits ... and makes two knocks.

It goes without saying that the sound is generated more often than usual, and the metal sound with a hard weight that irritates the bass is a strong ally when appealing in a wide range from a long cast destination.

If the bass follows, don't stop. Rather move fast.

Loud Knocker swings his head to the right and slides on the surface of the water while overcoming the waves caused by the wind, and then continues to the left, showing a beautiful wake. This is the so-called "Dog Walk" action. The basic action of pencil bait is a movement reminiscent of a "Dog Walk" that wanders to the right and left instead of going straight. Do you swing left and right continuously, or do you stop in the meantime to make time for the bass to catch up and bite? Don't stop!

The "Secret to catch" Part 1 under the chin

The Loud Knocker smooth skating on the surface of the water. But that's not the only aim.

"Splash gill" is the gill that forms the cup of the lower jaw. Generates a bubble biting sound and splash during the action to invite the bite.

When it lands on the water, it floats about 45 ° on the surface of the water, and this is the part that first hits the surface of the water in the first action. It works like a cup and first produces a clicking sound."

The sound is said to attract the bass by imitating the sound of "small fish eating tiny insects on the surface of the water". Also, it is clear that the floating posture on the water surface will be about 45 ° because the center of gravity is concentrated on the tail side as explained earlier in the internal structure.

"Once you start moving, you'll be skating smoothly on the surface of the water, but not enough to turn your head in the opposite direction."

There are no troubles while demonstrating the power of water surface appeal. That is why you can call a bass from a wide area.

A very small protrusion on the rear part. "Secret to catch" Part 2

The tail hook position of the Loud Knocker is not at the end. It is set slightly forward. What does this mean?

The rear hook is set on the lower side of the body, not on the rearmost end. On both sides, you can see the tiny bulge that was also used for the popper's Chug Walker . It's not just a design. It is has a meaning for lucky fishing.

When it comes to Bantam lure top water plugs, you'll notice that all the ventral hooks are sticking out . Why? The answer is simple, to get the hooks closer to the mouth of the bass.

Protrusions of only about 1 mm on both sides of the body. At first glance, it looks like a decorative design, but there was actually a reason for its existence. At the test stage, it is also true that there was a difference in fishing results depending on whether or not this was present. The Bantam lure development team could not have spared the effort to ensure that the angler had one. Scary "Loud Knocker" . Fearfully bantam lure".
