LEVEL VIB BOOST

The LEVEL VIB BOOST is a compact sinking vibration lure from RAID JAPAN designed to combine a small profile with strong vibration and responsive action.

Rather than using the conventional hollow body found on many lipless crankbaits, the LEVEL VIB BOOST uses a thin solid-body design.

This construction allows the lure to remain compact while maintaining enough weight for casting distance and depth control.

One of its most important characteristics is its quick response. The lure begins vibrating with relatively little movement, making it suitable not only for continuous retrieves but also for short lifts where anglers want the lure to begin working immediately.

Multiple weights allow anglers to adapt the same basic lure concept to different depths, retrieve speeds, and fishing situations.

Compact vibration lures are particularly useful in Japanese bass fishing because they allow anglers to combine finesse-sized profiles with reaction-oriented presentations.

The LEVEL VIB BOOST was developed around this idea.

Its thin solid body produces a compact silhouette while still allowing the lure to be cast effectively and worked through different depths.

This makes it useful when anglers want the vibration and speed of a reaction bait without moving to a larger conventional lipless crankbait.

The availability of multiple weights also allows anglers to adjust fall speed and depth while retaining a similar overall presentation.

The LEVEL VIB BOOST can be fished with both horizontal and vertical presentations.

A steady retrieve is one of the simplest approaches. After allowing the lure to reach the desired depth, the angler retrieves it at a controlled speed while allowing the lure's vibration to provide most of the action.

Another important presentation is Lift & Fall.

The lure is allowed to sink before being lifted with the rod. Its responsive body begins vibrating during the lift, after which the angler allows it to fall again.

Short lifts can keep the lure close to the bottom or within a narrow strike zone, while larger lifts allow it to search a wider vertical range.

Changing lure weight, lift height, retrieve speed, and line tension during the fall gives anglers considerable control over the presentation.

• Lift-and-fall presentations
• Steady retrieves
• Cold-water and low-activity periods
• Pressured bass
• Bottom-oriented fish
• Suspended bass
• Compact baitfish situations
• Searching different depths
• Bank fishing where casting distance is important
• Situations where a full-size lipless crankbait feels too aggressive

The LEVEL VIB BOOST occupies an interesting position between a conventional lipless crankbait and a compact metal vibration bait.

Its thin solid-body construction allows RAID JAPAN to combine a small profile with the casting performance and responsive vibration needed for reaction fishing.

For US anglers accustomed to larger hollow-body lipless crankbaits, the LEVEL VIB BOOST represents a more compact approach that can be worked both horizontally and vertically.

The concept is particularly well suited to situations where anglers want strong vibration and fast response while maintaining a relatively small lure profile.
