[About Kaiyodo]
Kaiyodo is a renowned manufacturer of highly detailed figures and scale models, widely recognized for its craftsmanship and precision. This collaboration between SHIMANO and Kaiyodo introduces the “Strike Fantasy” concept, bringing lifelike aesthetics and artistic expression into fishing lures.
[Kaiyodo Essence Infused into the Silent Assassin 129]
This model is inspired by the “Togorou Iwashi,” a less conventional baitfish compared to anchovies or sardines, offering more design flexibility due to its less standardized form. By incorporating elements from a different creative industry, the lure features a fresh and unique design perspective.
The base platform is the highly refined EXSENCE Silent Assassin 129. By adding Kaiyodo’s artistic detailing without compromising its proven performance, the lure achieves both high fishability and visual appeal.
[Textured Scale Pattern with Dynamic Light Reflection]
One of the defining traits of the Togorou Iwashi is its large, distinct scales. These are recreated using subtle three-dimensional surface textures, allowing light to reflect in multiple directions. Even during a steady retrieve, this produces a complex flashing rhythm that makes the lure harder for predators to identify and ignore.
[Realistic and Eye-Catching Sculpted Details]
Key features such as the eyes, gill plates, and fins are intricately sculpted with depth and realism. This level of artistic detail is made possible by the already well-established performance of the Silent Assassin 129, ensuring that design enhancements do not interfere with functionality.
[Unique Dual Flashing Effect]
The lure features a wide side profile to maximize flashing performance. The upper section along the lateral line is flat, generating strong, direct flashes, while the textured belly produces irregular, scattered reflections.
By combining these two distinct flashing effects, the lure delivers a different visual stimulus compared to conventional patterns. This makes it highly effective for targeting wary seabass accustomed to standard lures, as well as cautious surf-zone species like blackfin seabass (Hirasuzuki), which often hide in turbulent white water.
