SHIMANO ZR-818S Bantam Bt Sraptor #014 ST Monokuro Bait

Range controllable semi-auto switching bait

The BT Sraptor has a unique ‘Escape swimming action’ caused by the jointed construction and asymmetric tail design. The ‘Escape swimming action’ is imitating a baitfish that runs away to the surface away from predators. With normal slow retrieve the BT Sraptor will have a S-Line slalom action, but with a sudden fast retrieve and stop motion, you will get the ‘Escape’ action.The BT Sraptor is a floating swimbait with a special sinker holder on the belly, so with the attached sinker, you can adjust the buoyancy from floating to sinking.

Scales that stimulate intensely :

Shimano original real scale design hologram "Mad Scale" released in 2019. Not only in the fields of each region, but also in the lure industry in Japan and overseas, the target fish has a "real feeling" that makes it crazy.

Strong flashing ability that can strongly appeal with a vast surf and the wide range of brilliance that maximizes the effect of holograms. However, it is a difficult theme to incorporate those elements without losing the "real feeling that makes you crazy", which is the basic development idea of "Mad Scales".

Adding a new technology that can make a strong appeal by utilizing the effect of holograms to each scale, each scale shines separately even though it is a single lure, and the further realism obtained by it, Each scale shines strongly and the overall appeal is strengthened, making it a really strong scale that can be caught.

The sharply cut eye's eyes have the letters "Bt" meaning Bantam.

A new innovation called semi-auto switching bait :

Triple Connect

The mechanical movement of the joint bait is completely eliminated by connecting at three points and giving the center part a friction function.

One-action sudden ascent, instantly put the bass into predation mode

The lure suddenly changes its orbit toward the water surface by one jerk or by increasing the winding speed momentarily. The escape action that imitates the bait fish that is driven and runs away creates an opportunity for the fish to bite. The unique triple connect structure eliminates the mechanical movement of the S-shaped orbit and thoroughly pursues the speed of rising. Exquisite clearance provided not only in the horizontal direction but also in the vertical direction, combined with shift tails with different vertical widths, enables instantaneous movement while instantly restoring balance. It does not collapse even at high speed retrieve and realizes stable swimming.

Shift tail :

A shift tail that creates an escape action. The difference in the shape of the upper and lower tails creates a difference in water resistance and a twist, creating a stable swim and an action that jumps out to the surface of the water.

Sinker holder :

A nail sinker is loaded in the silicone tube provided in the abdomen. It can be adjusted to various types from slow floating to slow sinking.

Sinker holder that can freely adjust buoyancy
