Damiki is introducing a new swimbait called the Anchovy Shad that is made to go with their new Panda Jig Head. This bait is 4 inches in length but presents itself as a smaller profile lure due to its design. The advantage of this is that it can be used when bass are feeding on smaller baitfish.
In the hard bait category Damiki is rolling out the Hummingbird 70. This is a smaller jerkbait style lure that will run about 5 feet deep on 10 pound fluorocarbon. The Abyss is a larger cousin of the Hummingbird that will run about 8 feet deep featuring a wider, more erratic action for active fish.
Damiki has been producing blade style baits for some time and are adding to their pool with the Metal X Bomber that will be used for suspended fish. It features two line ties so the angler can tweak the action simply by tying to a different eyelet.
Another new blade bait is the Axe Blade which features a spinning blade on the rear of the bait with a double hook as opposed to a treble which should address the issue of short strikes. This bait is meant to be casted out and simply retrieved through suspended fish.
As far as jigs go, Damiki is showcasing their new Mamba II series. For all you guys that love rubber skirted jigs, the Mamba uses two different kinds of rubber for the skirt. One, the standard round rubber, the other a flat rubber that is thicker than any standard skirt. This gives the jig a one of a kind flair in the water. Mate that with a weedguard, premium hook and several utilitarian colors and you’ve got something that generated lots of interest.
Damiki is entering the wacky jighead arena with the Kaiser Jighead. What caught our eye here is the fiber weedguard that is used. The rigidity of this material is well thought out in that it collapses easily under the pressure of a bite but will still allow the angler to fish spots that they might think twice about with other similar products.
And finally, Damiki is introducing a new heavy duty flipping hook called the Viper that is a straight shank hook with two barbs near the eyelet for keeping your lure where you put it.
The new Air Mega Miki 2 Worm which is an 11 inch finesse worm and the 3.5 Knockout which is a flipping bait that is kind of a cross between a hog style bait and a creature bait.
