O.S.P Rudra SP ~ Suspending Jerkbait

Produced by Toshinari Namiki

O.S.P. is a popular lure company in Japan, but not as well known in other countries. It's owned by Toshinari Namiki, a top angler who has fished both the BASS and FLW top tournament trails through 2006. Toshinari designs all O.S.P. lures himself and with hopes of introducing his tournament-winning lures to other anglers, he began to distribute O.S.P. lures in the United States in 2006, his final season here, after which he returned home to Japan.

Still, O.S.P. lures are relatively new and unfamiliar to anglers in the USA (or anywhere outside Japan). I know that a handful of top US bass pros who had been introduced to his lures by Namiki in 2006, several of those pros still depend on O.S.P. lures to do well in top competition to this day, and really don't tell anyone.

In Bassdozer's Store, we will start to offer you some of the very best models and very best colors of O.S.P. lures. So you should do very good fishing with any of them.

O.S.P Rudra SP ~ Suspending Jerkbait

Bassdozer says: "Big minnow baits like the OSP Rudra, the Megabass Lates and the deps Balisong Minnow are examples of the curent trend in Japanese lure direction toward larger size floating/diving minnows for bigger bass. Keep in mind that 90% of bass fishing in Japan is done from shore. Shallow-diving big minnows that swim above the l...evel of many bottom obstructions and snags enable shore anglers to run these big minnow lures relatively snag-free, bagging big bass in the process."

Length: 5-1/8" (130 mm)
Weight: 3/4 oz (20g)
Type: Suspending jerkbait. Heavy duty big bait.
Depth: 0-7 feet

This is a fairly big and beefy suspending jerkbait. The bait is relatively flat on all four sides which makes it able to produce good body flashing effects with a tight, rolling action.

The walls of the bait have a honeycombed rib or lattice structure on the inside wall. This gives the walls incredible strength and lightness with less material than usual.


	New Weight System Two weights are fixed on the bottom of the body, and instead of using one more weight, three smaller weight balls are used. This system pushes more gravity toward the stomach and generates a big rolling movement.		Honeycomb HP Body The bigger the body size, the more effective the honeycomb becomes. The light weight of this body has gone beyond the common knowledge of ABS plastic and has renewed the concept of a tight wobble.
	Fully Flat Body The high quality of flashing and undulation from this body is practically impossible to achieve from a round or oval body. The fully flat body has higher appeal to bass and yields more bites.		The Best Lip for Jerkbaits No matter the genre of the lures, the best lip does not imply that it is the thinnest. We have selected the best material and shape to create a jerkbait with both a strong darting action with a roll big enough to show its stomach and a tight wobbling action even in a normal retrieve.
