AquaWave

AquaWave is the saltwater fishing lure specialist of the Japanese Cormoran group, alongside the Viva brand, which is dedicated to freshwater fishing. Its products are developed in Miki, in Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan, by teams who fish the spots themselves, from the shore to offshore. The brand’s stated mission: “to advance saltwater lure fishing”. In practice, this means lures designed in the field, easy to use and offering excellent value for money — a philosophy that has made AquaWave a success with Japanese anglers, the world’s most demanding when it comes to finesse fishing.

The AquaWave catalogue covers the main saltwater lure-fishing techniques:

  • Light game and rockfishing (LRF): tiny hard baits Shallow Magic (45 to 80 mm), S Magic, Minnow Magic, Little Magic, jigs Metal Magic mini and HYBRID, soft lures Super Jaco, Muscle BUG, Wriggle Shad and Spark, as well as Lock Head and Swim Head jig heads.
  • Seabass: jerkbaits SwayCall 90F/120F and BowFlap 65S/80S, hard bait Cu-Sith 80F, blades Blade Magic 75 and Michinoku Metal, and bladed soft lure Rolling Dancer.
  • Rockfish: crankbaits MIYABIS 45DR/45XD, soft lures Hafu-a, Grown Wriggle Shad and Short Cut Grub.
  • Chining (lure fishing for black porgy): topwater lure Carbuncle Lily 58F, soft lures Carbuncle Shrimp 2,4", Carbuncle Lance 2,6", Creeper Bug and Hafu-a Kurodai SP.
  • Bluefish, hirame and sawara (Spanish mackerel): jigs Metal Magic Shore (20–50 g), Metal Magic Slim and tungsten Metal Magic TG, jerkbait Step Magic 120s, lipless lure Tobunder and blades Blade Magic 90.
  • Vertical fishing and specialist techniques: slow jigs Metal Magic Slow Edition and CaruREAR, madai jig Datchak (60–120 g), the Spark range dedicated to tachiuo (cutlassfish), and Cuddle and Cutlery egi-metal jigs for squid.

AquaWave’s strength lies in technical details you won’t find anywhere else. The A.W. Offset Sinker Custom (7 to 36 g) reinvents the snagging weight for rockfish: its patented Tornado Setup system lets you change the hook or soft bait without cutting the line, with dedicated eyelets for fitting a rubber skirt or adding a blade for extra flash. The topwater Carbuncle Lily 58F takes its teardrop shape from competition casting weights: the result is remarkable casting distance and stability in strong winds for a 58 mm / 5 g lure, while its flat head produces 180° turns with a clean trail of bubbles — just the thing to tempt the finest sea bream in heavily pressured areas.

Every AquaWave lure is tested and fine-tuned by renowned angler-testers in Japan, including Atsuya Ikeda, designer of the Carbuncle Lily 58F. The brand has an active community: seabass photo competitions on Instagram, real fishing videos and development updates on its official Viva / AquaWave Lures YouTube channel. This wealth of feedback directly informs the evolution of the catalogue — new colours, new sizes and new models every season.
