Overview
Designed to accurately mimic a large school of baitfish, the RAID Japan Muscle Wire 7 Arm Umbrella Rig takes its ultimate form with a heavier-duty construction that allows for the attachment of numerous blades and heavier lures. The Muscle Wire Umbrella Rig features the same ultra-lightweight build as the original but uses a 1.2mm fine wire for both the main wire and sub arms that supports dead-slow retrieves and allows it to drift through the water column.
In addition, the Muscle Wire Umbrella Rig is equipped with lightweight resin blades on all wires except the main arm that rotate quickly and continue to spin even at dead slow speeds, making it easy to maintain the natural horizontal posture of a swimming fish. The synergistic effect of the fine wires and resin blades lets the Muscle Wire maintain your desired depth and hovers in the strike zone to reduce the risk of snagging. Including a compact storage case that allows for easy storage and transport, the RAID Japan Muscle Wire 7 Arm Umbrella Rig delivers intense water displacement with the drawing power to pull fish out of cover in rough conditions.
'Bamast' Specification – Remove the blades from the outer wires, and pair with RAID Japan Fish Roller Jerk Minnows, or remove all the blades to incorporate teasers or more hooked baits. This setting maximizes the effectiveness of the Ghost Wire, which is specialized for "lightness" and "slow drifting in the water."

Precautions for Use: The Ghost Wire prioritizes "lightness" and "slow drifting in the water" and uses a thinner wire than conventional umbrella rigs. Repeated bending and straightening of the wire, or repeated use with heavy lures attached, may cause metal fatigue and breakage, so please use with this understanding. The same applies when catching many fish.
- When bending the wire, do not bend it forcibly by hand, but use pliers or similar tools.
- The blade is made of resin. It may break if subjected to strong load or impact.
- To prevent damage and breakage as much as possible, avoid lifting the lure out of the water when landing it, jerking the rod to try to free it from snags, and slamming the lure into the water.
