RAID JAPAN is a Japanese bass fishing brand founded in 2011 and closely associated with professional angler Takashi Kanamori.
The brand's philosophy can be summed up by one idea: "Always be an angler." Rather than developing products primarily from theory, RAID JAPAN emphasizes spending time on the water, identifying real problems and opportunities, and turning those observations into rods, lures, and techniques.
This field-first approach is particularly relevant to Japanese bass fishing, where clear water, heavy fishing pressure, limited structure, and shore-based fishing can demand highly refined presentations. RAID JAPAN has developed a wide range of hard baits and soft plastics around these conditions, including the FISH ROLLER series, LEVEL series, DODGE, FULLSWING, and many others.
For anglers outside Japan, RAID JAPAN offers a good example of modern JDM lure design: products shaped not simply by novelty, but by techniques and situations encountered on heavily pressured Japanese waters.

DODGE
ダッジ
A 114 mm crawling topwater from RAID JAPAN known for its extremely slow retrieve. Despite its large profile and powerful surface presence, the DODGE is designed to produce a smooth, high-pitch rolling action at very low speeds, giving this Japanese "hane-mono" lure an unusual finesse-like quality.
Fish Roller
フィッシュローラー
A Japanese soft-plastic baitfish imitation from RAID JAPAN designed for mid-strolling and hover-strolling. The FISH ROLLER uses a subtle rolling action and controlled forward movement to target suspended and heavily pressured bass.
LEVEL VIB BOOST
レベルバイブ ブースト
A compact solid-body vibration lure from RAID JAPAN designed for quick response, strong vibration, and versatile depth control. The LEVEL VIB BOOST can be retrieved horizontally or worked with a lift-and-fall presentation, making it especially useful when bass respond to compact reaction baits.
Super Fish Roller
スーパーフィッシュローラー
A Japanese soft-plastic baitfish imitation from RAID JAPAN designed around mid-strolling and hover-strolling techniques. Its soft body, three-dimensional scale pattern, and controlled rolling action allow anglers to keep the lure moving slowly while maintaining a natural baitfish presence.
