The nose-weighted balance of the Sasuke gives it incredible stability even in the roughest heaves. Meanwhile the tail end, being free of weight,　vibrates tightly and frantically on the retrieve.

The tight, intense swimming action of the Sasuke is remindful of the world　ocean's many plentiful herring and shad species. All gamefish everywhere　feed on shad and herring, and the Sasuke closely imitates the swimming　movements of these deep-bodied baitfish.

In addition to its tight, vibrating action on a steady retrieve, the Sasuke　also darts well. The erratic and sudden nature of a darting baitfish can be　a tremendous strike trigger. It may be the natural ebb and flow of the waves　and the pull of the backwash that causes the Sasuke to suddenly dart and　lunge forward or the skillful rod action of an expert angler who artfully　darts it, then pauses momentarily to entice the unforgettable smashing　strike of a powerful ocean gamefish.
