A large puppet with a shifting center of gravity system that can attack the water surface with more strength and distance.

The Puppet Moa is a topwater plug equipped with a "center of gravity shifting system," a rarity in the area.
The Puppet Surface boasts a unique ability to quickly adjust to the fish's mood. While inheriting its DNA, the Puppet Moa has been sized up to focus on situations that were previously difficult to cover, allowing for effective follow-up. Its appealing power draws out the fish's motivation even more, while its high castability allows you to target points a little further away. By using it in conjunction with the Puppet Surface, you can more skillfully adjust to the fish's ever-changing moods. You're sure to enjoy even more exciting surface fishing.

Features

This lure has a lip, so at first glance it looks like a crankbait, but it's actually a "topwater plug" that relies primarily on rod action to lure. It produces a sharp, brisk, tricky action.
Any sign of the surface starting to stir, such as a slight change in sunlight or wind, is the perfect opportunity to cast it. Of course, times when fish are floating on the surface are great times to easily catch fish with a topwater lure, but other times include when aquatic insects hatch, when leaves or petals fall to the surface, when fish are particularly interested in pellets, or at twilight in the morning and evening.

Effective usage situations

✔ When you want to efficiently target fish further offshore
✔ When you want to bring the fish's activity up towards the surface
✔ When you want to smoothly lure them out from deep waters
✔ When the wind is strong and the water surface is choppy, and you want to give them an opportunity to bite
✔ When you want to somehow pull out motivated fish even when the water temperature, light intensity, wind, etc. are not yet optimal

Equipped with a center of gravity shifting system

The Puppet Moa uses a "center of gravity shifting system" which is rare for area trout plugs.

✔ Increased flight distance → Increases the number of fish you can target
✔ Stabilized flight posture → Stable lure immediately after landing
✔ Increased appeal → Unique knocking sound produced by the weighted ball

By creating a room structure similar to the katakana character "ノ" (no), the weight ball always returns to its original position immediately after hitting the water. This is the result of prioritizing the start of the movement even more than the casting distance. Even during a strong wobbling roll, the weight ball stays in the lower front position, preventing any erroneous action. This also means that you can effectively lure the lure even during the precious moment immediately after hitting the water offshore.

Gimmick to improve hooking rate

Traditionally, as lures get larger, the hook position changes significantly (the distance between them increases). The Puppet Moa is unique in that it can be used with a feel similar to that of the Puppet Surface, not only in terms of action but also in terms of the timing of the hooking. By shifting the rear eight-claw (metal fitting) forward and shortening the distance between the front and rear hooks, you can feel the impact more easily when hooking.

Action setting that makes it easy to control the temptation and hooking strength

The Puppet Surface was originally designed to be easy to weaken or strengthen as needed, making it appealing in its "versatility of lures." You can also submerge it slightly to give it time to rise, and combining these elements allows for more strategic fishing.
The Puppet Moa, on the other hand, inherits the same concept.
For example, if your Puppet Moa is appealing too strongly and you're missing a bite, try weakening the appeal. Conversely, if your appeal is too weak and you're not getting a bite, try making your next action stronger to lead to a bite.
By using it in conjunction with the Puppet Surface, you can provide more effective and shrewd support, allowing for more strategic surface fishing that matches the fish's motivation.

The main way to invite

By using different types of action, strength and rhythm, you can easily adjust to the various activity levels of trout. It is also effective to mix these lures in one cast.

The first few seconds after the lure hits the water is your first chance to get a bite. To be able to respond immediately to a bite immediately after the lure hits the water, retrieve any line fluff that comes off during the cast "softly and without tension" during the cast or immediately after the lure hits the water.

Tip action → Pause

Short-pitch rod action (= tip action) is effective when you want to make a steady appeal over a short distance. This makes it easier for fish to target and bite, and the bite is more easily transmitted to the rod, making it effective even in difficult sight conditions.

Stroke action → Pause

If you want to efficiently attract trout over a wide area, it's effective to use a stroke action to move the lure a slightly longer distance by lowering the rod. Many trout will chase you from a distance, so it's important to wait a little longer depending on the situation.

Shake →

Pause By shaking the rod tip, you can create a 3D table turn action that moves back and forth between the surface and just below the surface. This allows you to lure fish with a shorter movement distance. Perfect for when other lures don't fully activate the fish, or when you want to actively entice them to bite in a key spot.
