Would you like to be able to purchase this bait in shops here in the United States?? It is the "MOTHER" swimbait that was designed by the new pending World Record Bass angler Manabu Kurita?? Make a post and let us know. THE BASS ABOVE WAS 18 pounds and caught on the MOTHER SWIMBAIT This Bait was designed by MANABU KURITA.

Complete Photo Gallery from Manabu Kurita BASSMASTER MAGAZINE VIDEO INTERVIEWS PART ONE AND TWO WITH KURITA Each one is hand carved from Japanese Cypress and they are different from the Jackall. It takes more than a week to make each one.They convert to $367.00 retail US dollars, and about $293.00 US Dollars wholesale.
That is at present, but this could change depending on what happens. I have a lot more information on the baits coming soon, such as size, action, etc. When a bait is mass produced by a large company the price will drop dramatically. | |

Manabu. So far I have gotten 42 emails asking to buy the bait and many others very interested. I also have several manufacturers who are interested as well and some distributors. The guys at Swimbait Nation have been very helpful and responsive to this, and they really know their stuff. http://www.swimbaitnation.com | |

These are the best looking swimbaits in the water that I have EVER SEEN! I mean that and I get nothing for saying that! If I lived in Cali,Texas, AZ, Florida, Mexico or Japan, I wouldn't care how much they cost. I'd have to get one. This bait has the potential to catch the new world record. A ton of swimbaits look good in the package but the true test is what they do in the water and the MOTHER has the most realistic action I've ever seen. I know I'm looking at a lure and I still think its a fish. | |

When you are fishing these baits here in the United States the only rod I would use is The Lamiglas XC 807 i | |

Manabu and Reika explained to me why the Mother swimbait looks different in Bassmaster as some have asked. It is a special bait that Manabu designed for himself. It is different from the other baits they sell. They will sell the bait he designed that is in Bassmaster in limited quanities in the Spring.:cool: | |
