OSP Asura II Suspend 9.25cm 8.4gr P23 Tasty Shad Wobbler

The original Ashura OSP was released in spring 2001, and as it was continuously produced every year, the mold reached the end of its lifespan. There is a good reason why it maintained its unparalleled position in the market for so many years.

This was the first 9 cm class wobbler equipped with three hooks, with the first hook pushed backward to prevent tangling in the line, while also keeping the hooks from snagging each other. Despite its slender body, the low-riding internal eye allows the weight ball to 'climb' over the eye and roll all the way to the end of the tail section (increasing casting distance). The horizontal fixing eye ensures even spacing for the hook points on both sides, dramatically improving the hook-up rate. The body's cross-section is angular instead of round, which increases volume, allowing more weight to be incorporated into the suspending design, increasing the lure's weight and casting distance. The flat sides produce strong flashing during jerk (jerking) and pause (stops), increasing the number of bites. The often-neglected balance between free reeling and jerk performance was achieved with a rear-inserted bib, which maintains its indomitable strength even with a thin base. The Ashura OSP was at the top for years because it was full of innovations that set it far above the rest.

The “Ashura OSP II” – Rebirth in 2019

We could have carried on the original Ashura design, but we decided to renew the mold. However, we chose a different design approach to increase the number of catches and further enhance the lure's value. To do this, we utilized accumulated development know-how and adjusted the specifications to the needs of 'modern', well-seen bass.

Changing the bib (lip) made the lure's tendency to 'flutter' more natural during fast retrieves, and resulted in a sharp jerk movement that includes a momentary stop with explosive speed. (The original, rear-inserted bib was structurally recessed into the body, and the weight of the surrounding material holding it resulted in a forward-leaning body posture. Additionally, due to the minimal fitting gap required for manufacturing, the bib could slip, which often required 'tuning' of the fixing eye.)

The new, one-piece molded, carefully adjusted bib improved the wobbler's straight retrieve and provided a more horizontal [floating] body posture. The fixed weight was also replaced from a round ball to a low center of gravity, plate-shaped weight, improving stability during retrieve and recovery from roll. The hook was changed from heavy wire to regular wire to better react to cautious, 'short bites'.

The Ashura II inherited the outstanding performance of the original model while adding new features to catch modern bass, thus taking another evolutionary step.
