Inspired by the ayu ( Plecoglossus altivelis ), a small baitfish from Japanese rivers with a clean and bright livery.
The olive-grey back with micro golden highlights and semi-transparent silver flanks recreate the natural refraction of forage fish in a current. The milky belly with blue highlights is the color's visual signature: a cool glow that emerges during movement, increasing contrast and depth without disrupting the natural pattern.
Why choose it
• Natural action — constant rolling even with slow retrieves • Blue belly flash — visible reflections during movement • Versatile — effective on jigheads or offset hooks • Handmade — each piece hand-cast in Italy
Available formats
3" (7.5 cm) → 5 pieces per box 3.5" (9 cm) → 4 pieces per box, with 3D eyes
Directions for use
The SR AYU performs best with linear, even very slow, mid-strolling retrieves or with small jerks and twitches. Ideal when maximum realism with a discreet visual flash is required.
Recently purchased these in various colours, they are very well made and ideal for my estuary fishing, I will definitely be ordering more, highly recommend anyone to try these lures the action on them is superb 👌
