Imakatsu Vazelle Aventa Crawler Lure 80mm

Premium Japanese finesse surface crawler built for long, accurate casts and ultra-natural topwater action in pressured water.

Designed for anglers who rely on stealth and precision, the Imakatsu Vazelle Aventa Crawler (80mm) pairs a compact body with ultra-thin folding wings to create a wide, enticing wobble at slow to medium speeds. The wings collapse during the cast, so you can send it tight under overhangs, along timbered banks and across skinny flats where bass and estuary perch hunt. Hyper-real finishes, 3D eyes and fine gill detailing seal the deal when fish are wary.

This lure excels at dawn, dusk and on overcast days in creeks, rivers and impoundments. Crawl it steadily, add short pauses beside shade lines, or twitch it through pockets—those rear-mounted wings keep the lure tracking straight and pushing water without blowing out. Outfitted with premium BKK trebles, it sticks and stays pinned on surface strikes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What species is the Vazelle Aventa Crawler best for?
Australian bass and estuary perch are prime targets, but it also tempts saratoga, jungle perch and flathead feeding high on spring tides.

How should I retrieve it?
Use a slow, steady crawl with occasional pauses. Add light twitches near structure to trigger reaction bites from following fish.

Where does it perform best?
Shallow creeks, river edges, weedlines, timbered pockets and under overhanging vegetation—especially at first light, last light or on cloudy days.

What tackle do you recommend?
A 2–6kg baitcast or spin outfit, 8–15lb braid and a 10–16lb fluorocarbon leader balances casting distance with hook-setting power.
