The number one condition bass fishing pro Morizo Shimizu seeks in his crankbaits is decidedly simple, whether the line is thick or retrieves at high speed: they have to maintain the performance of lure all the time. Strong swimming may sound almost too simple, but the phrase denotes the highest level of trust an angler should be able to place on a lure. The WH-5 has been the source of Shimizus tournament victories and continues to build on those strong performances. The repeated TV, magazine and other media coverage of big bass getting caught in a raging fury of waves even during its pre-release prototype phase underscores the fact that the WH-5 is the real deal when it comes to shallow crankbaits. Only those who have repeated the simple act of casting and reeling over and over will understand the absolute power of the WH-5.
