OVERVIEW

The SARYU is a jig-head worm for surf flatfish that shares its DNA with the ZELPHAS lipless minnow. Its long, free-moving line eye lets the snap sit at the front on the back-swing and slide to the rear in flight for maximum launch speed: the 30 g model has been measured at 106 m with a tailwind and 77 m into a headwind.

A front-weighted head and a wide gap reduce sand clogging, and a very slim, firm worm keeps drag low and resists curling, so the bait holds a shallow range and can even swim just below the surface.

“A small spark makes a great fire.”

Even the smallest things hold the power to create a massive impact.

PERFORMANCE

ACTION & DESIGN

A free-moving line eye for distance

On the back-swing the snap sits at the front and top of the long line eye; in flight it slides to the rear for maximum launch speed. Reference distances for the 30 g: 106 m with a tailwind, 77 m into a headwind.

Front-weighted head, wide gap

The front-weighted head and the wide hook gap reduce sand clogging and help the SARYU stay in the strike zone along the bottom.

A slim, firm worm

The very slim, firm worm keeps drag low and resists curling, so the SARYU swims straight and holds a shallow range.

How to fish it

Retrieve it just off the bottom, slightly slower than the real baitfish; for active fish, speed up with stop-and-go. Use lift-and-fall along the bottom for flounder and flathead, or let it curve-fall on a tight line through the mid-layer.

Tail tuning and spare heads

Cut the tail to change the action: pin tail for a small action, shad tail for a medium action, stock for a large action. Spare heads with rear hooks are available; keep the split ring on when swapping worms for maximum distance.

DEVELOPMENT

PROVEN IN THE SURF

Insights from ADUSTA's field staff and dealers

Field staff Satoshi Wada, who fishes the Kashima-nada surf, played a key role in the latest colours and landed his personal best on the 30 g SARYU in stormy surf; he says it casts as far as a metal jig. Mr. Higuchi of Higuchi Fishing Tackle on the Atsumi Peninsula calls it his shop's best-selling surf lure, and his custom colour Atsumi Melon broke custom-colour sales records.

In Sendai, pro staff member Kensuke Sasaki guides anglers through the UV and glow colours, matching each to the light, the water clarity and the time of day.
