Overview
Developed by crankbait fishing legend Rick Clunn, the Ichikawa Rick Clunn King Kong Shad 05 Crankbait is a large profile bait that is perfect for fishing shallow water ambush points and catching monster-sized bass. Built for cranking at high speeds, the Ichikawa Rick Clunn RC King Kong Shad 05 Crankbait features a narrower squarebill than most other squarebills to maintain balance at high speeds, which Rick says is crucial to catching bigger fish. It is also made with a flat head that is inline with the bill to increase hydrodynamics and allow it to dive deeper than most other squarebills.
To create this crankbait Rick Clunn utilized the skilled craftsmanship and Japanese engineering skills of Ichikawa because Rick believes only Japanese lure makers can build a crankbait with such tight tolerances to achieve the quality, durability, and action the way Rick wants it to perform at high speeds. It is also outfitted with razor sharp Kamakiri treble hooks that maintain their sticky sharp points after being fish over heavy cover much longer than most other treble hooks on the market. Available in colors that mimic bigger forage species that trophy bass tend to feed on, the Ichikawa Rick Clunn RC King Kong Shad 05 Crankbait is deadly fishing around logs, stumps, boulders, and dock pilings.
"The faster you reel it the better they eat it and the bigger the fish you will catch." – Rick Clunn
