The Bofu 55 from Baum redefines the standards of the soft lure for black bass fishing. Designed for demanding anglers, this next-generation lure combines realism, durability, and efficiency through meticulous engineering. Whether you're into slow fishing, river or lake fishing, the Bofu 55 adapts to all techniques and attracts the most wary fish.
The distinctive silhouette of the Bofu 55 is based on a conical structure that generates a smooth, lively, and unpredictable movement. Unlike traditional soft lures, the Bofu 55 doesn't imitate anything specific: it reacts as well to the intentional actions of the angler as to simple water movements or currents. The result is continuous activity, even during the slowest retrievals. This level of responsiveness is a decisive asset in triggering the attack of curious predators like the black bass.
The real secret of the Bofu 55 lies in its variable thickness legs. This design allows them to instantly respond to the rod stimuli while remaining sensitive to the slightest water movements. Their animation is continuous, dynamic, and natural, even at slow retrieval speeds. This technology adds an extra dimension to the realism of the lure, clearly distinguishing it from conventional softbaits.
A fin-membrane connects the legs and acts as an intelligent shock absorber. This innovative system fulfills three essential functions:
- It prevents the tangling of the legs, even after many casts or during fast retrievals.
- It promotes independent movement of each leg, enhancing the realism of the swim.
- It generates slight jerky vibrations that stimulate the fish's lateral line and trigger their predatory instincts.
The precise balancing of the Bofu 55 ensures a stable and attractive posture, regardless of the speed of animation. The lure maintains a natural attitude in the water, ideal for imitating vulnerable prey and provoking the attack of the most cautious predators. The optimized head distance between the head and the legs offers a wide range of animations and setups, from slow fishing to more aggressive retrievals, giving the angler total freedom in his technique.
Made of high-performance TPR (thermoplastic rubber), the Bofu 55 has exceptional mechanical properties:
- Superior elasticity for a consistently smooth swim, even after many attacks.
- Resistance to repeated bites: the BOFU 55 survives hundreds of hits and thousands of casts.
- Floating, ideal for texan setups or without lead.
- Environmentally friendly: the TPR is a more responsible material than traditional plastisols.
The Bofu 55 has been designed to facilitate setup, even under difficult conditions:
- A ventral slit guides the hook for precise penetration and a straight setup.
- Centering marks on the head and back ensure perfect alignment.
- Compatible with a Size 3/0 Offset Wide Gap hook (recommended), allowing for an effective weedless presentation in congested areas.
The Bofu 55 is suitable for all levels, from the beginner angler wishing to facilitate his progression to the experienced angler looking to optimize his sessions. It is effectively used in lakes, rivers, canals or ponds for black bass. Its versatility and originality make it the soft lure essential to have in your box.
