HIDEUP is a Japanese fishing tackle manufacturer based in Otsu, Shiga, near Lake Biwa.

Closely associated with professional angler and lure designer Hideo Yoshida, the brand develops a wide range of bass fishing lures, including soft plastics, crankbaits, minnows, topwater lures, jigs, and rods.

HIDEUP is particularly known for lure designs that explore unconventional shapes and actions. The Stagger series established a broad family of soft-plastic baitfish and creature-style lures, while the Coike family became one of the brand's most visually distinctive concepts.

Coike lures use a compact central body surrounded by numerous flexible strands. Rather than relying on a conventional tail or appendage, these strands create water displacement and subtle movement around the entire lure.

The brand continues to expand these concepts through different sizes, materials, and specialized variations designed for different rigging methods and fishing situations.

For anglers outside Japan, HIDEUP offers a particularly interesting example of modern JDM bass fishing, where unusual lure geometry and highly specialized rigging techniques are used to create presentations that can look very different from conventional soft plastics.
