Ever since the launch of the original KAREN180, field staff member Rikuto Horie has put it through countless bank fishing scenarios, tweaking and testing to uncover the most effective setup. The result is the KAREN180 RINGED TUNE-a carefully tuned evolution built for serious bites.
While the original KAREN180 focused on delivering lifelike action without unnecessary movement, the Ringed Tune adds a split ring to the jointed section to purposefully open up the range of motion. The result: lightning-fast head-shaking action with minimal input. Even a light twitch creates intense movement, allowing the bait to appeal aggressively in a short strike zone. From surface strikes to just below, this tune draws reaction bites all year long.

Customize Your Tune-Because There’s No One-Size-Fits-All in Bigbait Fishing
The Ringed Tune is just one variation: by adding split rings to the joints, it unlocks a whole new action profile. Bigbait fishing is all about adapting-fine-tuning for conditions and coaxing that one big bite. Adjusting posture with adhesive weights or hook size, trimming the tail of the soft body for added sway, switching to feathered hooks-the possibilities are endless. Try your own original tune to match the situation and make the most of every cast.
