If you're targeting bass, pike, or other predatory species around the UK and European coastline, Konichi lures deserve a place in your tackle box. Designed with serious lure anglers in mind, the Konichi range covers everything from surface poppers to deep-diving hard baits — giving you the right presentation for every condition.
Konichi Bass Comet — Metal Casting Lure
The Bass Comet is built for distance. This metal casting lure cuts through wind and casts a country mile, making it ideal for open beaches, rocky headlands, and anywhere you need to reach fish holding far out. Its fluttering action on the drop triggers aggressive strikes from bass and mackerel alike.
Konichi Hard Head Eels — 12g / 14cm
A deadly sand eel imitation that bass simply can't resist. The Hard Head Eel's realistic profile and lifelike action make it a go-to lure when fish are keyed in on baitfish. Fish it on a slow retrieve or with a twitch-and-pause to mimic a wounded eel.

Konichi Shibui Floating Diver — 21g / 128mm
The Shibui is a versatile floating diver that works the upper water column with a seductive wobble. At 21g it casts well even in a breeze, and its buoyant design means you can pause the retrieve and let it rise enticingly — perfect for triggering follows into a strike.

Konichi Otaru Shallow Diver — 120mm / 17g
When bass are feeding in the shallows over rock, reef, or weed, the Otaru is your lure. Its shallow diving lip keeps it in the strike zone without snagging, and the tight wobble action is irresistible to fish hunting in low-light conditions.

Konichi Bass Dude Topwater Bass Lures — 10cm & 14cm
Few things in fishing beat a topwater explosion. The Konichi Topwater lures are designed to walk the dog, splash, and create surface commotion that draws bass up from depth. Available in two sizes to match the hatch — use the 10cm in calmer conditions and the 14cm when you need more noise and presence.

Konichi Abuki Surface Popper — 10cm / 19.5g
The Abuki is a classic cup-faced popper that spits and gurgles on the surface, mimicking a distressed baitfish. At 19.5g it punches into a headwind and delivers the kind of commotion that draws bass from a wide area. One of our most popular lures for summer surface fishing.

Konichi Rip Rider — Long Cast Lure for Bass & Predators
When you need maximum distance and a lure that works through the retrieve, the Rip Rider delivers. Its aerodynamic profile and weighted transfer system allow exceptional casting range, while the action in the water keeps predators interested all the way back to the rod tip.
Konichi Classic Sand Eel
The sand eel is one of the most important baitfish in UK waters, and the Konichi Classic Sand Eel nails the profile perfectly. Slim, realistic, and effective on a straight retrieve or with added rod tip action — a must-have for any bass angler fishing over sandy ground or estuaries.
