I wanted to design a new product that did not exist before with plenty of lure passion.
While contemplating such a lure, I came across an ornamental fish called Angelfish, and I thought that the pretty appearance of this fish and my passion would be well expressed in a heart.
In addition, the design was continued by thinking of a baitfish running away from a predator.

The action of the key man heart is that the heart twists and moves left and right in response to the resistance of the water.

'A product designed after watching a bass hunt crayfish'

While I was thinking of a special action differentiated from other crayfish worms, I decided to apply the action of the C-tail worm. 'Two pincers grafted with C-tails and 6 legs designed in the opposite direction'created a special action of SY Crow.

The first product name that came to mind was 'Twintail (two tails)','A crayfish that can easily and quickly catch the target fish.'I want to express,  Speedywith the first spelling ofeasYUtilize the last spelling 'SY Crow'It was named  .

 

The most disappointing part of using the softbait was its weak durability.

In the existing products, the lure was quickly damaged even if only 1 or 2 were caught, so it was a hassle to replace it frequently. This is Consumability was also high, and the purchase cost was not too high. 

'SY Crow'is the first product of Keyman Lure that has improved durability and improved these disadvantages.

It has improved durability so that it will not tear easily even if you catch more than 10 fish with one lure., *The action was also saved with a special design.

(*Special design: When reeling or falling, the claws can produce a flamboyant movement, and the rest of the legs are designed in the opposite direction to the reeling direction to receive more resistance in the water. Resistance is the action Because!)

This is the product that led to victory in the 1st and 2nd matches of the 2018 teamworking tournament!

 

Chungjuho produced so many 6s that it was called a monster maker, and the customer who won the Big Bass competition even left a message saying thank you. (I remember that the product was a boat worth 1 million won)

'Putting Floating on Flashy Actions'

The upgraded version of 'Umbrella' below'Big Brela'

Straight worms, as the name suggests, are long, straight worms.

Perhaps because of this, the straight-type worms in circulation at the time were similar in shape and action.

So, we are looking at the characteristics of 'Umbrella'.It was decided to save the 'umbrella-shaped tail', improve the part that had many restrictions on the operation of the rigging and improve durability, but develop a product that floats on water..

It took a total of 2 years and 4 months to produce the targeted product.

- I did a lot of sampling for 1 year and 4 months, but if I liked the color, it didn't float, and if it floated, I didn't like the color.​ In the midst of this frustration, I decided to find a suitable material and apply it. Too successful plotting + color comes out pretty too.

Since the material was selected, I spent another year on sampling + product production. 

* What about Joe?

The elasticity is good and the action comes out well. Do you think that products with good action are also good for jogwa?

(A customer who said he had the first 6 days of his life thanked him over the phone)

* What about durability?

It feels completely different from existing products, and it feels soft and tough.

Even if you catch 100 of them, you won't tear them apart

Released on March 1, 2021, a hit product in the first half of Keyman Lure!

1st quantity: Sold out in 1 month

2nd quantity: Sold out in 1 month

3rd volume:  in progress~

Skeleton-Swimmer(640)-비하인드.jpg

'Alabama League, a lure made with the sensational popularity of Flash Swimmer'

<Things to consider when designing the skeleton swimmer>

First, well-balanced, so that the lure does not rotate underwater.

Second, the movement of the left and right regular shedtails.

Third, preventing hookset misses.

We started development with these three considerations in mind, and countless samplings were conducted over the course of three years.

Most shad-type lures are balanced using salt.

but,'Skeleton Swimmer'is balanced by design without adding salt. This took 3 years of development.

At first, it was developed in 3.5 inches and a satisfactory action came out in two years, but 4 inches to be used for all-round purposes such as spinnerbait, flash swimmer, Alabama league, free league, etc. changed to developed.

 

Comparable to products of well-known companies.Great action and balance. 1 pack of 10 Value for money is also excellentdo.

In the summer of 2019, this product achieved the feat of being the first export!

 

Made for bass,   Bass is well caught, but   Flounder is well caught, so some people order 3 packs of each color when going out to sea.

(I went to shoot sea bass with a skeleton swimmer and caught sea bass, but it's no secret that the frequency of biting of flounder was better~)

'Must-have lure'

Spring to late fall is the buzzing season.

Buzzing is an attractive fishing technique that allows you to feel both the taste of the eyes and the taste of the hand.

Many anglers are eagerly awaiting this season.

 

Although there are many shed products, there are also many disadvantages.

Weak durability, high price, and hook set miss.

The characteristics of the shed worm for buzzing are heavy and bulky. It seems like it would take a lot of material. For this reason, it is unavoidable that the selling price is set at a high price, and the probability of hookset miss is high because it is bulky.

With this in mind, we started designing the product.

I made and tested countless times for 1 year and 6 months, but it was harder than I thought.

Among the various types of design samples, we adopted the most functional design and started making products. 

Wavelength of sleep even with slow reelingThe size of the shed tail is designed to be wide to cause  Avoid hookset misses as much as possibleI designed a crease at the hook set point to be able to do it.

This crease is also related to durability. Increasing durability increases strength and increases the probability of hookset misses. To prevent this, creases are put in the hook set point to make it relatively soft.functional designis applied.

(There is a correlation between wrinkles and water waves, but because of this, it is not possible to check whether the bass is caught well or not, so no comment)

This is the product that won the 2nd Team Working Tournament in 2018! 

In the summer of 2019, this product achieved the feat of being the first export!

 

'Skeleton Shad'Is "Buzzing all day with one lure"It is durable enough to say,A product that maximizes hookset probabilityam.

10 pieces per pack,value for moneyAlso good.

'I first encountered lure fishing and used it the most A product designed because the lure is a C-tail worm'

At that time, the reputation of tail worms was high, and as a fashion, several types of tail worms were released. In order to promote my product among countless products such as curltail, cuttail, and grubworm, I needed a different design.

Existing tailworms were characterized by using only the action of the tail in a straight-type body. Even in that state, it was enough to lure the bass.

I'm Tail'sThe action is alive, and the body is more flexible So, the design that came up was the pleated design.

If the entire body is designed with pleats, the hook fastening part becomes weak and durability is lowered.

The durability of the hook connection part is also saved,It is like capturing both the hopping action and the retrieve action.is. Although the trend has passed, many anglers like the tailworm, so it is still a steady seller. 

​​

Not too long ago, a customer who took the first six months of his life with a skeleton tail sent me a picture.

(Am I the only one who sometimes thinks of shrimp swimming while reeling in a skeleton tail..?)

'Design for a rainy day'

I spend my daily time thinking of new designs all the time.

There are times when a design suddenly comes to mind when fishing, walking on the road, or even in everyday life.

Umbrella isumbrella on a windy dayThis is a design that I came up with while writing .

Utilizing the umbrella-shaped tail as much as possible, the sampling process took about a year.

Irregular action when hopping and pollingshows

It was designed to be used as a finesse equipment such as jig head, waki, neko, etc., so it was enough to attract bass with low activity. 

However, there is a regrettable part, and it is scheduled to be released as an upgraded version in 2020.

'Design design to prevent hookset misses'

The discomfort felt while using the ready-made hook was improved and applied.

In order to increase the hook set probability, the length of the needle tip was designed to be 1 to 2 mm shorter.

When active, the hookset works well with any needle.

When the activity is not good, the hookset does not work well.

If you do sight fishing, you can see the sight of the bass attacking the lure.

In particular, there are often cases of lightly biting the lure's tail. 

The 'skeleton hook' can be effective when a low-activity bass attacks the lure's tail. When attacking the tail,This is because the needle with the short end of the needle is more likely to enter the mouth of the bass.am. 

When 'Skeleton Hook' was initially released, users' reactions were cold.

"It's just a bulk hook, but it's cheap." People who did, 1 year later,  Ask when the product will be available.

 

The factory raised the unit price by 50%, and production was temporarily suspended, but A must this year!! I will have to re-produce it.
