Originally released in 2013 and widely talked about, the “Orikanemushi” has been completely revamped as the “Orikanemushi II” to meet the demands of today’s fishing conditions. Developer Kazuki Orikane focused on a design that doesn’t resemble any one specific insect—making it look like various creatures, sometimes even frogs or crustaceans. Its rear-weighted body boosts casting accuracy, while the durable elastomer material gives it lifelike action with detailed legs and antennae. The slimmer neck in the rear adds independent movement and improves hook-up performance. It’s designed for hanging presentations, letting it sit on the surface, or subtle shakes to mimic a struggling bug. You can also rig it with an offset hook to twitch around cover, or even sink it thanks to the elastomer body for deadly underwater action. Orikanemushi II opens up new possibilities in the world of insect-style lures.
