MOTE LURE
The Origin of the Name MOTE LURE
MOTE comes from the Japanese word Moteru, which means being well-liked and being popular! 😁
We named it with the meaning of a lure that is loved by tuna — a lure that gets fawned over and adored by bluefin tuna. 🤭🧡

Why slim lures?
🎣 Slim Body Revolution
The bait that tuna prey on is mostly slender baitfish 🐟
There are also patterns like cannibalism and mahi-mahi, but the ones tuna are said to favor are saury, sardines, anchovies, squid, and so on. They all have slender silhouettes 😁
That being the case, a slender lure is a better bait match too 👍💛
Furthermore, when the bait is large, tuna will sometimes bite a lure that is smaller than that bait, whereas when they are feeding on small bait, the image is that they rarely bite a large lure! So for the MOTE LURE, we insisted on a slender silhouette 🎣💓
- ✅ Ultra-slim body (Perfect match for real bait patterns)
- ✅ Supports 5/0 6/0 class heavy treble hooks
- ✅ High-strength stainless steel full-wire structure

Don’t just reel like crazy!
(Presenting a Stunned Baitfish)
When a feeding frenzy breaks out, aren’t you cranking your reel like crazy? Actually, that’s a big mistake!!
What is happening during a tuna feeding frenzy?
- The tuna charge into the school of baitfish at tremendous speed
- They knock the baitfish flying with their bodies and tail fins
- They gulp down the stunned baitfish drifting around dazed
In other words! What the tuna are eating is not the baitfish swimming energetically, but the stunned baitfish drifting around dazed 😃
That’s why, here is the MOTE LURE action
- Once you arrive near the frenzy, cast toward it 🎣
- When the lure lands near the frenzy, stop it right there for 2 to 3 seconds! (Wait for the hit! Be patient!!)
- Turn the reel 1 to 2 times to take up the PE line, then jerk sharply!
- Stop dead again for 2 to 3 seconds! Just repeat this!
The key is: time spent moving it is less than time spent stopping it. You’ll want to reel in right after it lands, but just take up the slack line and hold on a little!! Over 80% of bites happen during the stay. The courage to stop is your chance to encounter a bluefin tuna 💗
The MOTE LURE is designed for this stopped, softly drifting motion and vertical standing posture 🐟
