OSP Yamato Jr.
The Yamato Jr. is a true wizard among topwaterbaits. OSP calls it a "Surface Multi Action Bait" because it has two completely different running behaviors. When hooked on its bottom eye, the Yamato Jr. runs on the surface and creates a similar action to a popper. When hooked on the bottom eyelet, it runs just below the water surface in a walk-the-dog style. Thus, the Yamato Jr. combines the characteristics of a swimbait, a popper and a pencilbait.

Side cup
In order to splash widely, side cup is added on left and right with front cup. No other lure has side cup. Side cup creates not only splash but mass of air in water and it attracts big bass widely(when high-appeal eye is used). And it helps dive the lure by catching current.
Center board
Center board attached beneath front realizes quick and wide 180 degree turn as if It was like putting up of the rudder to the prow.(when high appeal eye is used). Moreover, it helps increase splash, widen wake, create S-character action by just retrieve. So it is very important part which creates action that is impossible for normal pencil bait and popper.
Dual eye: high appeal eye
Main eye that generates pencil and popper function as topwater lure. High pitch dog walk that swings its head up and down, right and left can tempt intensively where you want to get bite. Also, wide angle splash to which detailed spray scatters and surface swelling ripple are very effective, so it appeals deep and widely.
Dual eye: diving eye
Diving eye makes lure dive easily, so as another YAMATO OSP, the stage of the action shifts right under the surface of the water. Making it dive by a little harder rod operation and dog walk under water by continuous twitch. Still more, S-character action with wide rolling right under surface of water by just retrieve. It expands the chance under the situation that bass does not come up to the surface because it dives a few inches.
