Developed by Shimada Satan, it quickly built a loyal following in Japan as an \u003cstrong\u003eexceptionally effective lure for big largemouth bass\u003c\/strong\u003e and has steadily earned a reputation as a \u003cstrong\u003emagnet for pike\u003c\/strong\u003e - particularly the larger fish. These are substantial lures that allow you to fish very selectively. They call for a \u003cstrong\u003ebaitcasting rod\u003c\/strong\u003e or a heavy spinning rod, and they suit anglers who would rather land one giant than a dozen average fish - the \u003cstrong\u003efish of a lifetime\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRealistic Action at Every Speed\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eMadness Balam\u003c\/em\u003e is built from \u003cstrong\u003ehighly durable ABS hard plastic\u003c\/strong\u003e that holds up even to aggressive pike attacks. The \u003cstrong\u003ereplaceable tail segment is made from softer silicone\u003c\/strong\u003e, which contributes greatly to the overall action. It produces a very lifelike side-to-side rolling movement at any retrieve speed, whether you crank it back slowly or drive it through the water at full pace. That versatility is precisely what makes it so effective on large, educated predators that have long since stopped responding to lures fished at a standard pace. When fishing for largemouth bass, the figure-eight at the side of the boat has proven its worth the moment a fish follows without committing - even wary fish will often strike when provoked that way. It is well worth trying on pike too. Although the \u003cem\u003eMadness Balam\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eruns very shallow\u003c\/strong\u003e and is primarily used in shallow areas, you can add clip-on weights such as the Illex John Weight to make it sink. This opens it up for \u003cstrong\u003etargeting big open-water pike\u003c\/strong\u003e as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHand-Painted by Airbrush\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eMadness Balam\u003c\/em\u003e delivers across the board: action, fish-catching ability, materials and build quality. The finishes are no exception - each one is \u003cstrong\u003ehand-painted by airbrush\u003c\/strong\u003e for a flawless result. Even the most suspicious predators struggle to resist at least a look, and that is when the \u003cstrong\u003erazor-sharp Decoy YF 33 F treble hooks\u003c\/strong\u003e do their work. Armed like that, most bites are converted and you just have to play the fish out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSize Overview:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; height: 78.3752px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 15.9849%;
