Soft Hanitas 4

Madotachi's Soft Hanitas 4 is this Japanese brand's very first soft bait! A next-generation lure designed for anglers who want innovation, ultra-realistic swimming, and quick customization of the action. Made from elastomer (a very flexible, tough, long-lasting material), it combines softness with the stability and control typical of more advanced lures. Perfect for targeting predators (in freshwater, at sea, or in lagoons) hunting on the surface film or just below it. Thanks to its "sly" action and pronounced rolling, it entices even the wariest fish. It comes ready to fish with an offset hook (ICHIKAWA MUSCLE HOOK #3/0) and a treble hook secured by two stoppers (the treble can be removed as needed). The lure weighs about 9.5 g with the hook.

ACTION IN THE WATER
The Soft Hanitas performs best just under the surface, where it develops a natural swim with strong rolling and convincing vibrations. Ideal with slow to medium retrieves, mixing in short pauses and restarts to imitate struggling bait.
It can also be weighted to reach greater depth, depending on conditions.

KEY FEATURES
- Elastomer material: greater resistance to tears and rips than traditional silicone baits; long-lasting even after multiple strikes.
- Adjustable action (Qwing): the silicone side fins can be oriented to alter attitude and movement, shifting from a "cleaner" swim to a more pronounced action;
- True Tune: if it struggles to keep a steady action, you can easily correct the track by adjusting the side fins;
- IN System (removable internal components): you can remove and re-install the internal elements with a simple procedure to adapt the lure to your fishing needs.

HOW TO USE THE QWING SYSTEM
1) Extend a wing;
2) Rotate it up or down;
3) Repeat on the other wing.
(To remove: pull until it comes off)

QWING SYSTEM MODES
1) First mode (both wings placed in the lowest groove): action just beneath the surface. Recommended with steady, slow to medium retrieves. If the wing is inserted reversed, you'll get a surface action;
2) Second mode (both wings placed in the highest groove): slightly deeper action. Works with steady retrieves, stop-and-go, or twitches;
3) Third mode (no wings): for fast or jerked retrieves.

"True Tune" trajectory adjustment: If the lure doesn't swim straight, extend the fins and nudge them slightly to one side until you get the desired line.

Removing components "IN": Extend the lip, remove the hook from the lip and then from the lure's back. To reassemble: perform the steps in reverse.
