Lipless mode/Top water

Recommended Line: Nylon 16lb and up

Focus on the shallow areas, around the ​cover and structures at your feet, and ​move the Snatch left and right.

Tips for a bite:


  • Be aware of the aftereffect after its turn.


  • The rattle will click, and the Snatch will ​pause on the water's surface. Then, wait ​0.5 to 1 second before the next action.


Lipless Mode/Top Water to Mid-Water

Recommended Line: Nylon or fluorocarbon line 16lb and up

Basically, cast around cover and structures ​or under overhangs that are visible from ​your feet to offshore. Then move the Snatch ​smoothly to these points.


When moving the Snatch to a good point, ​add a strong action to entice bites from ​bass that are either staying there or chasing ​the snatch.


Note: If you move it like live bait, they might ​not bite.

Recommended Usage Situations:​

When black bass do not come to the ​surface during low water temperatures.

Recommended equipping as follows:​

  • Use Extra eye weights of 1.8g to 2.5g.
  • For the front eye, use weights of 0.9g to 1.8g.
  • Attach the VARIVAS QUICK CHANGER

Extra eye

Cranking Mode/Top Water to Subsurface

Recommended Line: Nylon or Fluorocarbon Line 16lb and up

The spots to use are the same as in lipless ​mode (top water), but the action ​characteristics are completely different.

Therefore, you can enjoy using them in ​various ways!

Various movements are possible:

  • Retrieve in normally
  • Fast retrieve (keep the rod up)
  • Dog walk at the surface
  • Dive and dog walk → float

In this mode, you can perform all of these actions ​described above at a very high tempo. For this ​reason, it is particularly useful for searching for ​big bass in prime spots.


As shown in the photo on the right, if you attach a ​0.9g-2.5g VARIVAS QUICK CHANGER to the Extra ​eye, you can effectively catch bass from lower ​ranges, in muddy conditions, or even from thicker ​cover.

Rise Up Mode/Top Water to Subsurface

Recommended Line: Nylon or Fluorocarbon Line 16lb and up

・retrieving while creating a wake,

 it moves in a small S-shape.

・retrieved slowly,

 it will move in a straight line, like an I-shape.

retrieved with a strong action,

 it will make splashes and pops like a popper.

This is a gimmick that has never been seen ​before in this type of lure.Depending on how you ​use it, you will be able to enjoy fishing in various ​ways.
