Designed with the personality of a swimbait in a saltwater-grade twitch bait and incorporating a little slalom action, the 4in Lazy Fishad 100S is a slightly larger and sinking version of the original and with a new proprietary flash called Laser Impact.

Daiwa field marketing manager, Chris Martin, explained: “Laser Impact provides an incredible level of visibility to the fish. Inside the Lazy Fishad 100S’s durable ABS plastic body, we installed a prism that captures and reflects light 360-degrees. This vastly widens the field of visibility.”

The hooks were upgraded, too, with the firm opting for BKK saltwater-grade hooks to for their extreme sharpness and durability. For six generations, BKK has manufactured some of the world’s sharpest and strongest hooks, for both freshwater and saltwater.

On a straight retrieve, the Lazy Fishad 100S winds through the water like a relaxed baitfish – one destined to become a meal. The slow sinking lure can be lowered anywhere in the water column before engaging, too. Once in motion, the lure dives up to three-feet, precise depth dictated by the speed of retrieve and line thickness, narrower pulling deeper.

And, unlike a swimbait motoring with limited wobble, it rolls side-to-side while it broadcasts colour via its Laser impact prism. 

The Lazy Fishad 100S’s curious slalom action is produced by a conspicuous fin centred on the head of the bait. Sort of looks like a miniature aquatic rhinoceros. Despite the diminutive nature of the fin, though, it really moves the bait around.

It can be fished more aggressively, too. Technically categorised as a twitch bait, snapping the lure affects a sudden dive. And, because of the fin, each pull sends it in a new direction. Essentially, it’s two lures in one: a slow swimmer and a ripper.

Internally, it features a dual-purpose metal ball chamber. On the cast, it’s a weight-transfer system imparts exceptional launch distances, even bucking the wind. While retrieved, it emits subtle ticks that produce auditory responses – strikes – from inshore predators like redfish, trout, jacks, snook, calico bass and others. 

Externally, the durable lure sports refined cosmetics including realistic eyeballs, gills and mouthparts, and scale patterns. Anglers can choose from a palette of intense saltwater patterns, including Skeleton Chart Back, Skeleton Red Head, Skeleton Mullet, Holo Sardine, 3D Konosiro and Pink Clear Holo.
