Sakura Bulwip 110 SP – 110mm 14.6g

Sakura Bulwip 110 SP: The Finesse Suspending Jerkbait

When the baitfish are smaller and the predators are more selective, the Sakura Bulwip 110 SP is the precision tool you need. This 110mm version of the Bulwip family offers the same legendary “neutral density” as its larger siblings but in a sleeker, more agile profile that perfectly matches smaller forage.

The magic of this lure lies in its ability to suspend perfectly in the water column. When you stop your retrieve, it stays exactly where it is—level, motionless, and vulnerable. This “deadly hover” is often the only thing that will trigger a strike from a pressured Bass or a wary Pike. Equipped with a magnetic weight transfer system, the internal stainless steel weights shift to the tail for effortless, long-distance casting, then snap back into a forward position to balance the lure for an ultra-responsive, erratic “slash” action the moment you jerk the rod tip.

Technical Specifications

Where to Use the Bulwip 110 SP

• Matching the Hatch: The 110mm length is a fantastic match for smaller sandeels, sprats, and minnows. When predators are ignoring 130mm+ lures, dropping down to this finesse size can be a total game-changer.

• Shallow Estuaries and Lagoons: With a diving depth of up to 1 meter, this is the perfect lure for working over shallow mudflats or weed-lined margins where predators cruise for easy pickings.

• Clear Water Conditions: The realistic finish and subtle profile make it a top choice for high-visibility water. The silent, neutral-buoyancy hover is far more natural than a lure that is constantly floating or sinking.

• Freshwater Specimen Perch: Large Perch are notorious for “following” lures without biting. The Bulwip’s ability to stop dead in their face often forces them to make a split-second decision to strike.

Retrieval Tactics

• The Twitch: Small, sharp snaps of the rod tip make the lure shimmer and “vibe” in place.

• The Jerk: Harder sweeps of the rod cause the Bulwip to dart wildly to the left and right, mimicking a terrified baitfish.

• The Dead Stop: The most important move. Always include a 2–4 second pause in your retrieve.

Gerry’s Tip: Because this lure weighs 14.6g, it is best fished on a medium-power spinning rod with a fast action. This allows you to “snap” the lure properly, giving it that crisp, darting action that makes the neutral density so effective on the pause
