Introducing the BQ Otama – A Tadpole Lure That is so fun!
For the first time ever, Hiroshi found himself needing to reduce the hooking ratio—because the bass were striking the BQ Otama so aggressively, they were swallowing it deep, all the way to the gills. Using a traditional treble hook was risking injury to the fish.
To solve this, Hiroshi switched to a double hook setup, and our partners of Ichikawa Hooks crafted the perfect version for us. Ichikawa Fishing also introdued this hook and ready to ship. “Kamakiri Double”
To get the most out of the BQ Otama, anglers need to reel in slowly—only setting the hook once they feel the full weight of the fish. If you react too quickly, the lure will slip out of the fish’s mouth. This is not your usual “twitch and strike” lure—it’s something special.
