Swimbait Review: Monster Bait Development EDEN8
I had the pleasure of fishing with Naohisa Takemura of MBD last spring, and he introduced me to EDEN8, a sort of hybrid bait between a glide and a swimmer. Constructed of wood like BUGROCK, EDEN8 is a 3 piece lipless bait, and can be either swam on a steady retrieve, or glided side to side with rod or reel inputs. I am appreciative of Takemura-san for the gift of EDEN8!
The EDEN8 action can be altered by certain rod or line choices, so keep this in mind. A softer rod with a slower tip, in conjuction with line with some stretch, will allow the angler to more easily glide the bait. However, keep in mind that that it will also be more difficult to work the bait with the rod tip, as the slower action will absorb angler input. Conversely, a stiffer rod and braided line will make it harder to glide the bait wide, but it will be very easy to manipulate the bait with short and aggressive rod inputs. This will give more of a tight back and forth cutting action.
If you are interested, Takemura-san will have EDEN8 available for sale soon.
