About this lure

The Blade Bomber is Hayabusa's bladed take on the classic madai slider head, adding flash and vibration to a style of lure that already does serious damage on New Zealand snapper. Fished on a slider or free-slide rig with a skirt and assist hooks, it works well drifting over foul and sandy patches for snapper, gurnard, kahawai and trevally, and the lighter weights can be rigged on a weedless hook for freshwater work. The spinning blade gives fish an extra reason to commit on a slow, steady wind.

Spinning blade – Throws off vibration and light flash to pull fish in from a distance and trigger hesitant biters
Madai-style head – Rigs with standard slider skirts and assist hooks with octopus trailers, so it slots straight into your existing kabura gear
Five weights from 14g to 60g – Cover shallow estuary and harbour drifts through to deeper reef and current
Six colours – Red Shrimp, Chilli Pepper, Double Orange, UV Coated Sardine, Pink & Glow and Chartreuse Gold for bright days, dirty water and deep drops
Versatile rigging – Also fishes in freshwater with a Texas-rigged hook when you want vibration down low

Which weight, and when

14 g Ideal for shallow mid-water work (2-4 m) and lighter tackle; casts adequately and sinks slowly for prolonged water-column coverage.

21 g Balanced choice for general mid-water (3-6 m) fishing; good casting distance and moderate sink rate.

28 g Suits mid-range depths (4-8 m) and slightly stronger current; faster sink rate for deeper presentations.

40 g Best for deeper mid-water (6-10 m) and windy conditions; rapid descent and extended casting range.

60 g Maximum depth and distance option; use in strong current or when targeting the lower end of the mid-water zone (8-10 m).
