The ultimate Sardine imitation, designed by Ryo Ikuma Every autumn, the shores from Osaka to Kobe are bustling with sea bass and blueback feeding on the large Sardine schools. We have haunted the area and tested, not only lures, but various other brands during the Sardine season. Our final conclusion has the “Athlete 14SS” as an absolute standout performer. With its perfect baitfish profile outline, its action and flight-distance and it’s immeasurable ability to catch fish after fish which led to countless captures of lunker sea bass and yellow fish. This unique style of fishing requires a particular depth for the lure to run at, and keeping in mind to make this an easy lure to use, so we have adjusted the design to get the Athlete running at the correct depth and get it to the depth quickly and easily. Now reaching the required depth is simple cast after cast, getting the Athlete in the strike zone every time! The legendary “Athlete 14SS” just got better! The revised Athlete has 3 design focus points that make the best even better. First, a crucially designed bib lip shape to enable the lure to travel at the correct depth and reach it fast, while maintaining its action. Second, the body shape enlarged to move more water and increased sonics, therefore becoming more noticeable to all predators. Lastly, the weight transfer size has been changed from 4pc.(6.6mm) to 2 pc. (8mm) to produce a tight baitfish profiled action at all retrieve speeds. Color selection was completely renewed with amazing colors to suit the style of fishing the new Athlete is designed for. We worked with respected experts in the Sardine baitfish style of fishing and everyone accepted the offer willingly, acknowledging the Athlete’s already high status, and enjoyed the reconstruction of this lure. Upon completion of much research and development, “ The New Athlete 13 MDS” was born. We are confident in the results and are pleased we have a new world class lure that can proudly carry the legendary name of “Athlete”.
