Kikuchi Craft Bubble Swimmer BS160 Popping Lure
The Japanese Tuna Legend in 160mm Version The Bubble Swimmer BS160 by Kikuchi Craft is one of the most renowned and proven poppers in the Japanese tuna world. This is a handcrafted lure originally created for bluefin tuna fishing in Japan that has become over the years one of the most iconic lures associated with big tuna fishing in open waters. The secret of the BS160 lies in a rare combination of exceptional casting distance, aggressive bubble creation, and the ability to stop the lure for extended periods without losing the fish’s attention.
Stop & Go The Secret Weapon
The classic working method of the Bubble Swimmer is Stop & Go. During the retrieve, the lure creates a water explosion, bubble trail, and natural noise that attracts predators from great distances. It then stops and sits on the water surface in a completely natural manner. It’s precisely these long pause moments that often trigger strikes from large tuna and wary fish.
