Smith AKM48

Variable action is when the quality of the action changes depending on how it is used, as the reaction differs depending on the target fish species. Its function is a rolling action during slow retrieve, and a wobbling roll during medium to high speed retrieve. While rockfish are basically retrieved slowly, silversides and barracudas require medium to high speed retrieves and reactions, which this lure can handle.

Another variable action is when it starts falling vibration in a horizontal position after landing on the water, sinking to about 70 cm, then gradually transitioning to a tail-down position due to the load of the line, and then the influence of the high density tungsten begins to appear, and the sinking speed increases. By twitching the rod work during the tail-down sinking, it reproduces the falling vibration in a horizontal position again, making it easy to control the sinking speed and range. The irregular darts and falls caused by twitching appeal to the flat side and induce bites.
