Son of a Mother, the Roman Made Negotiator Swimbait
Introduction: If you are a trophy bass hunter chances are you have heard about Lake Biwa in Japan. It is here that Manubu Kurita utilized a Roman Made “Mother” swimbait to catch the previous Lake Biwa record bass then went on to catch the world record tying monster with the same bait series. The “Negotiator” is a smaller version of the Mother, and is designed to impart the same type of action with a lure that can be used for a wider range of bass, not just the biggest baddest lunkers.
How come you didn't go in and try to retrieve it from the tree? I've wouldn't hesitate to go swimming for a $30 Vision 110, let alone an $85 swim bait.
