How to work it

Cast the Makimaki Vibe to structure, reefs, or current lines where kingfish and kahawai hunt. Retrieve with a steady wind-the lure's high-vibration metal body and belly-fin blade system generate flash and vibration across ultra-slow to high-speed speeds, so match your cadence to water clarity and fish activity.

The sinking action works the mid-water column (2-10 m); count down to your target depth, then maintain contact with a consistent retrieve.

The four tow-point eye positions let you fine-tune vibration intensity-experiment to dial in the action that triggers strikes in your conditions.

Which weight, and when

40 g The 40 g suits moderate casting distances and slower sink rates; ideal for shallow to mid-range work (2-6 m) or when a gentler presentation is needed.

60 g The 60 g casts further and sinks faster, reaching deeper mid-water zones (6-10 m) and powering through strong current or chop.
