About this lure

The Hayabusa Free Slide VS Plus is a versatile tai rubber replacement head designed to deliver a clean, natural fall and controlled slide action. Built for drifting over reefs and structure, it keeps your skirts working freely while maintaining a stable descent that snapper respond to instantly.

Free-slide system – head glides independently on the leader for a natural bite window
Stable sinking action – tuned weight shape holds its line in current for reliable bottom tracking
Enhanced sensitivity – clean contact through the line helps read bottom transitions
Ideal for NZ drifts – perfect for slow, steady wind techniques targeting snapper
Easy to fish – drop to bottom, lift slightly and wind steadily to activate skirts
