SHIMANO ZT-111P Bantam Triple Impact #001 Kyorin Kurokin

The aggressively evolved Triple Impact!

"Triple Impact" that has evolved further as a bait fish type high appeal wave bait. Pursuing draining of the lip, the action is made high pitch and it corresponds to high speed pulling. It hits the surface of the water with a large propeller and creates unique noise. Invitation by diving with jerk is also effective.

It is an amazing NEW model that has evolved further with the latest modern technology.

The first Triple Impact was born in 2003. The name comes from the fact that it has three types of impact . 

" Sound " that stimulates the lateral line of the bass.

" Wave " that is generated by the overwhelming water push and the pulling wave that is emitted backward.

" Light " that looks at each part such as prop and the looks that pursued realism . 

A uniquely shaped prop on the tail side of the minnow shape and a flap that was not installed in the first generation. The body of the part where the hook eyes are mounted on both the front and rear has a raised offset hook eye structure. This is one of the features of the Bantam top water plug, along with Loud Knocker and Chug Walker , to bring the hook closer to the bass.

The first 03 model and the second 16 model. Where is the difference?

As a minnow shape, it has a large diameter and has a curved tail shape to keep the overwhelming strength of water pushing. The prop loaded in the rear receives water and rotates, appealing with a metallic sound with brilliance. Although there are differences in design, the idea as a fundamental wake bait is unwavering.

"Offset heaton" that produced sound effects and stable action

A secret that will surely appeal at any speed. It was hidden in the offset heaton of the tail part.

"The eye bolts with the props are mounted diagonally backward and upward. It was found that this made the props a resistance and prevented the body from tipping over."

As the lure begins to swim, the prop moves backwards on the heaton with clearance. It rotates by receiving the water flow and suppresses rolling by becoming a resistance that suppresses the progress of the body. The correct answer that was reached by repeating repeated trials and errors. By giving a sense of stability to the action, you can clearly feel the improvement in usability when using it as a search bait that is thrown and wound over a wide range.

Props and cups for heaton mounted diagonally upward from the tail. The eye that can be seen at the tip has a flap that looks like a tail fin. As the prop spins to raise the splash, it also makes a squeaking noise when it comes in contact with the cup, and a metallic sound that irritates the bass when it comes in contact with the flaps irregularly .

Side slash lip with a thick center and extremely sharp edges on both sides. It leads to the sharpness and stability of the action that sets it apart from the lip of uniform thickness.

"Originally, Triple Impact is a lure that swims wide and wide while swinging on the surface of the water and just below the surface of the water. At that time, if the lip does not grasp the water firmly, the swim will suddenly collapse."

The unique lip with a very thin side reduces resistance and instantly catches water, allowing you to produce continuous and strong action while maintaining strength. This structure is also applied to the Macbeth series of crankbaits that produce strong action . Continue to wind the target zone in medium, and the water surface explodes. Even if there is no reaction there, it is a fierce bite as soon as it starts winding at the recovery speed. Only wave bait, which has overwhelming destructive power that is not uncommon in such a scene, has prepared a perfect system for Triple Impact.

Behold, this surface of the water! Even if you just wind it at medium speed, you can see that the body strongly pushes the surface of the water and generates a large pulling wave backward. At the same time, the tail produces a metallic sound due to the prop and flap.

Where and how should unparalleled water agitation and strong waves be utilized?

When the strong winds do not subside and the water surface is rippling, and in the early morning with no wind on a clear day. These two symbolize the turn. The former means that it has the power to withstand some waves, and the latter means that it is possible to call the bass from a wide range to the morning and evening mazume, which are considered to be feeding times. But that's not the only turn.

Regardless of the weather conditions or time of day, let's throw and wind it first. You have to try first to see what the bass is looking for that day.

Sometimes it's a good idea to shake at one point and make a rattling noise with props and fins around some obstacles.

Offset heaton : 

Adjust the heaton angle to offset the propeller rotation. Enables high-speed high-pitch action.
