OVERVIEW

The SILENT BLASTER 140 combines an explosive rattle sound with extreme water displacement. Its large, full-bodied and highly buoyant body keeps waking hard at the surface, imitating a big baitfish and pushing enough water to call every fish-eater in the area.

A large rattle ball inside the body knocks out a low-pitched sound on every movement, while a sound-tuning mechanism in the tail adds a metallic sound that carries underwater. The tail parts can be swapped to suit the conditions, from a prop that clatters against its ring to a blade and metal plate for a dead-slow, zigzagging wake.

“The lure that inspired BARBATOS.”

A 66 cm, 4 kg-plus bass on the SILENT BLASTER set ADUSTA on the path to its giant bait.

PERFORMANCE

ACTION & DESIGN

Big-bait volume that keeps waking

The fat, high-buoyancy body keeps waking hard at the surface. Its big-bait-class volume pushes a lot of water and churns the surface, giving it a presence fish can't ignore.

Two sounds with a wide reach

A large rattle ball knocks out a low-pitched sound on every action, and the tail's sound-tuning mechanism adds a metallic sound that carries underwater. Together they draw fish-eaters from a wide area.

Tail sound customisation

As standard, a prop fitted on a screw eye strikes the figure-eight ring directly above it, producing irregular prop and metal-contact sounds. The included blade and metal plate make the zigzag dart-and-kill action easier on a dead-slow retrieve, adding contact sound, flash and a one-knock sound.

Kill actions on its own

On a steady retrieve the SILENT BLASTER is designed to perform a kill action by itself from time to time. A dead-slow retrieve is recommended to get the most from it.

Recommended tackle

A 7 ft-class, MH-power rod with a regular taper is easy to handle and reduces missed strikes. A low-gear reel helps you control the slow retrieve for the zigzag dart-and-kill; experienced anglers can use an extra-high-gear reel.

DEVELOPMENT

THE LURE THAT INSPIRED BARBATOS

Field-tested in Australia, Singapore and Japan

Development of the SILENT BLASTER began in Australia, where the prototype drew positive feedback and caught several Murray cod. Testers from ADUSTA's Singapore dealer reported peacock bass, and in Japan it began producing fish in the reservoirs of the Kinki region.

In June 2020, during a media shoot at Ikehara Reservoir, angler Satan Shimada fished it in muddy water after rain and landed a bass over 50 cm, then a 66 cm bass of more than 4 kg on his third cast to the same spot. That fish set ADUSTA on the path to evolving the 140 mm SILENT BLASTER into the BARBATOS giant bait.
