"When the Storm Arashi Silent Square Bill first
hit the market, I was hearing rave reviews about its self-tuning line
tie. After getting a chance to fish with it for a few weeks, I can tell
you that the hype is well-deserved.
Banging
big squarebill crankbaits through thick cover is an excellent way to
catch fall bass. As the shad infiltrate the creeks, laydowns and grass
lines become prime ambush spots for hungry bass, making shad-imitation
lures a must-have for the autumn months.
The
self-tuning line tie gives it a free range of motion that consistently
keeps the crankbait running straight regardless of your retrieve speed. I
love to burn a crankbait to elicit reaction strikes and this is an
outstanding crankbait to do it with. I put it on a 7.1:1 gear ratio reel
and cranked it as fast and as hard as I possibly could and the Storm
Arashi Silent Square Bill will not—I repeat—will not kick out and
helicopter at any point in the retrieve. This has proved effective in
schooling situations and also on high-pressure days when you need to
force the bass the react quickly.
When retrieved
slowly, the Storm Arashi Silent Square Bill has a very wide wobble and
runs nose-down. I’ve used this retrieve when fishing around shallow
bream with a lot of success and again—it runs totally straight
regardless of what it collides with. When you bang it against a piece of
cover, it momentarily kicks out and comes right back to its path within
a few reel cranks."
Runs with a lively rolling action and a pronounced tail kick. The buoyancy to back out of cover and square lip design for increased deflection are a perfect match for contacting structure. Non-rattling for a silent approach to wary or pressured fish in shallow water. Premium black Nickel VMC® hooks.
