Damiki Vault Blade Bait

The Damiki Vault Blade is a metal blade bait that is designed to be fished vertically or casted and retrieved along the bottom. It is particularly effective in fishing in super cold water, making it a good option for late season or early season fishing. The bait is subtle and can get reaction bites from fish that are not as active. It is also a multi-species lure that works with a variety of different fish types, such as Walleyes, White bass, Crappies, Largemouth and Spotted Bass, and Smallmouth. To use the bait effectively, it is recommended to use a braid to a fluorocarbon leader, and to use a soft rod to avoid losing fish.

In this video, Bryan Thrift introduces the Damiki Vault, a fall bass fishing lure offered in quarter ounce, 3/8 ounce, and new for this year, a half ounce size. He explains that this is an awesome little blade bait that is particularly effective when fish are schooling on small shad, especially in the fall when they're very hard to catch. He demonstrates how to retrieve the bait using a series of lifts and drops to make it flutter off the bottom and imitate small shad. He also mentions that it can be retrieved with a slow steady wind and that the best way to fish it is to make it look like a lazy, lethargic shad. He suggests using 8-pound P-line Tactical fluorocarbon to fish with it and that it can be casted easily with a baitcaster reel.
