About this piece
The Raid Japan Maxxblade Type Speed is a bladed jig engineered for ultra-high-speed, micro-vibration action, targeting bass in clear, tough conditions. Its high-response blade activates on the fall and maintains stability at all retrieve speeds, offering a baitfish-like presentation that conventional bladed jigs cannot match. This 8g model is optimized for shallow water and excels when standard slow-rolling bladed jigs fail.
