Octopus

Fish Magnet's Octopus is a unique 140 mm creature bait developed to combine strong attracting power with an extremely natural and complex action. The design is based on the evolution of an older concept that involved the simultaneous use of multiple straight worms, reinterpreted into a single integrated structure that is much easier to use. The central body features an elliptical shape designed to increase water displacement while also acting as a bite marker, helping Black Bass focus their strike on the central area of the lure.

Along the sides are eight legs, four on each side, capable of reacting independently to water pressure and generating continuous vibrations even with minimal movement. This configuration allows the OCTOPUS to maintain a strong presence in the water both during active retrieves and during pauses, making it effective even with cautious or inactive fish. The particular arrangement of the appendages also creates significant water displacement without compromising the natural appearance of the action.

Compared with the original concept, the integrated structure eliminates the need for complex rigging and further increases the lure's attracting power. The OCTOPUS can be used with a variety of rigs, ranging from finesse presentations to more dynamic and aggressive setups. The combination of independently moving appendages, strong water displacement and a clearly defined central strike point helps reduce missed bites and improve hooking efficiency. It's a highly versatile soft bait for anglers looking for a lure with a strong presence in the water without sacrificing sensitivity or natural movement.

Recommended rigs
- ZAPPU Inch Wacky King Cobra: an ideal setup for taking full advantage of the movement of the eight appendages and the strong water displacement of the OCTOPUS, even with very subtle rod movements.
- ZAPPU RPZ Talisman #2/0 + Pin Free Shot: a setup that preserves a high degree of freedom of movement while adding a separate weight to control depth and presentation.
- ZAPPU Bow Head + Super Captain Hook V Guard #2/0: recommended setup using the Super Captain Hook V Guard #2/0 in place of the original hook, ideal for a more dynamic and articulated presentation.
